As a business, it's important to ensure you're running as energy-efficient as possible to lower your costs and meet your Corporate Responsibility towards sustaining the environment. One way you can do this is to use ground or air source heat pumps as an alternative water heating system. These types of heat pumps utilise the natural heat found in the environment. As their names suggest, air pumps use the heat found in the outside air and ground pumps use heat from the ground. At Coastal Energy Kent, we understand the importance of saving your business money when it comes to energy usage and also helping you to create a more environmentally friendly workplace.
Air source heat pump systems have the lowest running costs available giving major savings over gas boilers. An air to water Heat pump system uses heat energy present in the outdoor air to heat the house, cool it and also to produce hot water. The system therefore uses free energy to heat or cool your home. It only consumes electricity to operate the compressor, the electronics, the pumps and in the event of very low temperatures, the electric elements. The result is very high efficiency and real energy savings.
Early forms of heat pumps were solely based underground, relying on using heat stored underground from the sun's solar radiation. Although still an efficient and useful system, recent developments have enabled the introduction of Air Source Heat Pumps, which harvests low-level energy from outdoor air and uses this to transfer heat for the supply of hot water and heating. Typically, an air source heat pump will provide 3kWh of heating energy for every 1kWh of electricity it uses. This provides an efficient reduction in running costs for a home.
Put simply, an Air Source Heat Pump is a system that transfers heat from outside to inside a building via radiators, under floor heating and/or hot water. They absorb ambient heat from the outside air and boost this heat to a higher temperature to heat your home and provide hot water. These systems are a proven and reliable technology and are able to extract heat from the air even when temperatures are as low as -20°C. They are usually situated outside the property adjacent to a side or back wall but can be placed up to 50 meters away if using a split system.
Installation: Our client converted a barn to a residential property in West Sussex. He wanted to be self sufficient in heating and take advantage of the government grants for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which will provide an income for the next 7 years. Two Samsung Air Source Heat Pumps were installed outside the property and a wooden, ventilated cupboard constructed around them. For more details of this installation or if you are interested in a similar solution please ring on 01892 270520 or contact us.
As a company we design, install and maintain underfloor heating systems. Typically these will be alongside an air source heat pump or ground source heat pump but can also be installed independently to run alongside another heating system. We design systems on a room by room basis taking allowances for all potential heat losses, insulation and floor coverings. This then allows us to advise you accordingly and ensure we design your system to run at the lowest flow temperature throughout to make your system as efficient and cost saving as possible.
