Air Source Heat Pumps

A typical Peterborough homeowner switching to an air source heat pump could save £500 annually on energy bills. What’s more, residents in Peterborough and the local area may qualify for up to £7,500 under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

Air source heat pumps are an energy-efficient solution to heating and cooling which work by extracting heat from the air outside and bringing it to warm your home, or by reversing this to provide cooling in the warmer, summer months.

There are two types of air source heat pumps, one working air-to-air for space heating or cooling, and another working air-to-water for heating systems, radiators, or hot water supplies.

These do operate using electricity but due to using pre-existing heat rather than generating it, they’re significantly more energy-efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems.

Pros of air source heat pumps: 

• Energy efficient compared to traditional methods and therefore, potentially money saving
• Low carbon emissions
• They provide both heating and cooling in one system
• Long lifespan of up to 15-20 years for well-maintained systems
• Allows access to renewable energy incentives from the government

Cons of air source heat pumps:

• The upfront installation can be costly, but is often countered by the yearly savings achieved
• They work best in mild to moderate climates rather than extremes
• Installation is complex so should be carried out by experienced heat pump installers

With this in mind, typically air source heat pumps are best suited for energy-conscious homeowners in more mild to moderate climates looking to save money on heating costs while lowering their carbon emissions.

Our expertise in Peterborough’s mild climate means we can recommend the best heat pump systems for maximum efficiency. Contact us for more information on getting your air source heat pumps installed.

Ground Source Heat Pumps

Ground source heat pumps are also known as geothermal heat pumps. They are another method of energy-efficient heating and cooling using circulating fluid through underground pipes to absorb or release heat.

You have the option of a closed-loop system which circulates a combination of water and antifreeze through pipes either horizontally or vertically installed, or an open-loop system which uses water from a natural source, and returns it to the ground after use.

Pros of ground source heat pumps:

• Highly energy efficient, these are one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems available.
• Low operating cost
• Extreme longevity lasting 50 + years if properly maintained
• Stable and versatile

Cons of ground source heat pumps:

• The upfront installation can be costly so the payback period can be lengthy
• A somewhat large amount of space is required, and installation can be disruptive to surroundings

Due to these factors, ground source heat pumps are the best option for those with a good amount of land looking for an environmentally friendly, highly energy-efficient, and extremely reliable heating & cooling system, particularly if you’re located in harsher, cold climates.

Water Source Heat Pumps

Water source heat pumps are a third, very efficient, eco-friendly heating and cooling system which use a body of water to transfer heat in and out of a building.

As with ground source heat pumps, there are closed-loop systems which use circulating water and antifreeze to exchange heat, and open-loop systems which draw water directly from a source, and then return it after use.

Pros of water source heat pumps:

• Highly efficient method of heating and cooling
• Low operating costs
• A long lifespan of 50 + years for submerged loops and a very stable performance

Cons of water source heat pumps:

• Require a suitable area and environment of installation
• Installation and maintenance can be challenging
• The upfront installation can be costly so the payback period can be lengthy

Due to the nature of water source heat pumps, they tend to be ideal for large sites with access to a reliable body of water wanting a highly energy-efficient method of reducing carbon footprint and saving money on heating bills.

You can save money on your heating bills and reduce your carbon footprint with our energy-efficient heat pump solutions in Peterborough.

Our Recent Projects

We recently installed a ground source heat pump for a farm in Yaxley, helping reduce their heating costs by 40% annually.

The project highlights a comprehensive service CTE performed on a 4-year-old air source heat pump system to ensure everything was functioning correctly.

In the process we identified a faulty potable expansion vessel, adjusted heat pump settings to improve efficiency and further reduce costs, and fully cleaned the outdoor unit.

This is the level of high quality, ongoing service we hold ourselves accountable to for all customers.
