Curious about how heat pumps work and if they’re worth it for your home? We’re here to help and we’ll explain the basics of the heat pump system, explore today’s technology, and guide you in deciding if solar is the right investment for you.
What is an Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a low-carbon heating system, a cleaner alternative to gas or oil boilers, that uses electricity to draw heat from the air or ground outside and transfer it into your home.
Heat pumps are highly energy efficient and significantly reduce heating costs over time, especially when replacing older systems and paired with renewable electricity or off-peak tariffs.
How Heat Pump work?
A heat pump uses the same technology as refrigerators, but in reverse — providing heating instead of cooling.
Even in winter, there’s enough heat in the air or ground for a heat pump to warm your home to a comfortable temperature — just like a traditional boiler.
The heat pump draws heat from the air or ground outside and transfers it into your system.
This heat is warm enough to cause the liquid in the heat pump to evaporate and turn into a gas.
The gas is then compressed, which increases the pressure, and causes its temperature to rise.
The heat is then transferred into your central heating system or hot water tank.
As the heat is transferred into the home, the gas falls in temperature, causing it to return to a liquid.
The cycle repeats until your home reaches the required temperature setting on your thermostat.
When combined with other renewable systems, a heat pump can cut your heating bills by up to 50% per year.
