Heat pumps

A heat pump is a machine that extracts heat from one place and transfers it to another. The heat pump is not a new technology; it has been used in fridges since the early 1800's.

The likely benefits of a heat pump are:

• lower fuel bills are likely, especially if you are replacing conventional electric heating.

• lower carbon emissions.

• no fuel deliveries needed.

• can heat your home as well as your water.

• minimal maintenance required.

• can be easier to install than a ground source heat pump.
