Air Source Heat Pumps in Scotland

Make The Switch To Air Source Heat Pumps

It’s no secret how important energy is. It heats our homes, schools, and businesses, and gives us hot water on demand. With energy consumption, however, comes harmful greenhouse gasses that cause damage to our planet. The greatest carbon dioxide emissions come from burning fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas which are used to traditionally provide energy to our households.

The Scottish government have targets to reduce our energy consumption from these damaging resources and aim to have 30% of all energy consumption fueled by renewable energy by 2030. With these figures still nowhere near being met it’s no wonder households are looking for new ways to heat their premises whilst also reaping long-term benefits.

Many homeowners are switching their gas boiler systems to Air Source Heat Pumps in Scotland as a way to avoid using fossil fuels and embrace cleaner energy technology to heat their home and provide hot water. As Air Source Heat Pumps rely on electricity and the air outside rather than gas to function, it can be extremely beneficial to homes that are also utilising solar panels to generate electricity for their property.

Even though electricity can be an expense in itself, switching to an ASHP system could lower your energy bills due to their high efficiency. Some energy companies also have green energy tariffs, lowering the cost of your electricity bills.

Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Scotland

What Are Air Source Heat Pumps?

Air source heat pumps are very similar to their ground source cousins, but rather than extracting heat from pipes laid deep in the ground, air is extracted from the surrounding air where it is transferred to water, which is then used to heat radiators, underfloor systems, taps, and hot air systems. Although they require electricity to run, they use less than conventional central heating boilers.

The air outside doesn’t need to be warm for air source heat pumps to extract heat from. Air pumps can operate in climates as low as -15 degrees C, perfect for the bitter Scottish winters. No matter how cold it gets outside, your home will be can remain heated at lower price than traditional boilers.
