Would you like a heat pump system for your home but still have some questions? We’re here to help! Here you can browse our frequently asked questions.
Why choose a heat pump?
Are you looking for an environmentally responsible heating system? If you opt for a heat pump as your heating system, you won’t have to rely on fossil fuels. This means you will reduce your carbon footprint, to the benefit of the environment.
Heat pumps convert energy stored in the air, water or beneath the ground into heating energy. And that’s not all! Combined with a DHW cylinder, this method of heating also assures you of a reliable domestic hot water supply. The three natural elements mentioned above contain supplies of energy that are always available.
How does a heat pump work?
A heat pump uses energy from the environment and converts it into heat for your home. First, the heat energy present in water, the ground, outdoor air or extract air is transferred to a refrigerant via a heat exchanger (evaporator). With the aid of a compressor, the refrigerant boosts this energy to a higher temperature level, making it suitable, via another heat exchanger (condenser), for the heating system or DHW heating.
Depending on the energy source, up to four parts environmental energy can be converted to heating energy with one part electrical energy. The environmental energy at an initial air temperature of -20 °C to +35 °C must be brought to a temperature level suitable for heating (DHW).
Understanding the technology. A heat pump works like the fridge in your kitchen, except in reverse. Our video gives a clear and simple explanation of how your heat pump heating system works.
Are you looking for an environmentally responsible heating system? Our heat pumps get top marks
If you are looking for a suitable heating system, the energy efficiency label (ErP) will help you to understand the product’s efficiency quickly. Heat pump heating systems are split into nine efficiency classes. The best energy efficiency category is A++. Category G identifies appliances with significantly poorer values.
Our heat pumps are almost without exception in the best efficiency class – namely classes A to A++. So you can enjoy feel-good temperatures in your home, safe in the knowledge you have an efficient heating system.
Where are heat pumps used?
Whether you are modernising an older building or undertaking a new build: suitable heat pumps are available for almost every kind of home. A heat pump system is highly efficient and the heat it supplies to your home is carbon neutral. This makes it fit for the future as well as an excellent choice today.
