Heat pumps are the future

We installed an air sourced heat pumps in our offices in Bolton earlier this year. With rising gas prices, heat pumps – an alternative to conventional heating systems – are better value.

Air-sourced heat pumps can pay for themselves within five years.

Heat pumps, via electrical heating, are the future. As electrical and mechanical contractors, we are being asked to install heat pumps in small commercial and domestic properties more frequently.

We are able to assist customers with applying for an interest-free loan from the Carbon Trust to install heat pumps in schools, colleges, universities, offices, factories, libraries, residential and nursing homes, and sheltered housing accommodation.

Some of the other benefits of heat pumps include up to 30% per annum saving on energy costs,
reduced energy consumption and therefore lower bills for consumers, reduced carbon dioxide emissions and a smaller carbon dioxide footprint, plus less reliance in the short to medium-term on the vagrancies of gas suppliers. Heat pumps also give unparalleled indoor heating comfort.

Heat pumps work by extracting heat energy from the outside air. They are quite capable of providing heating and cooling for industrial premises as well as domestic premises where they are currently more known for. Yes, they can be used to provide cooling as well as heating.

Thanks to our heat pumps, we are not worried about forecasts that this winter is going to be a cold one!
