Modern air conditioning systems are becoming more and more popular due to their energy efficiency, low cost and flexibility. They utilise air to air heat pump technology which has the capability of heating and cooling, rather than traditional air conditioners which only cooled and thereby required additional forms of heating to be installed in parallel.
Air Source Heat Pumps are another form of heat pump technology and are primarily used for in heating systems that use hot water such as traditional radiator type systems.
Heat Pumps are commonly referred to as a renewable technology as they use electrical energy in a very efficient way to cool or to heat. The efficiency of a heat pump is such that it typically provides 2.5 – 4.0 units of heat energy for every unit of electricity used to run the heat pump as compared to the best gas boilers which are typically around 90% efficient. ie they provide approximately 0.9 units of heat for every unit of energy burnt. The power used to drive a heat pump is also electrical energy rather than fossil fuel technology all of which can result in substantially reduced running costs and lower carbon emissions.
Elliott’s holds the coveted MCS accreditation for Air Source Heat Pumps. This enables the company to participate in the Governments Boiler Replacement Scheme, which contributes up to £5000 to Domestic customers and Small Businesses towards the cost of replacing Gas or Oil fired boilers with Renewable Air Source Heat Pumps which are typically used in Hot Water type heating systems.
In addition Elliott’s is able to provide the latest conventional heating systems which although are becoming less common are still used in many situations.
We can install new or replace existing gas, LPG and oil fired boiler plant serving ‘wet’ type heating systems such as radiators, LPHW fan convectors and under floor heating. The boiler plant can also be used for producing the primary source for heating the buildings domestic hot water supply, as an alternative the hot water can be produced using a direct fired, gas, oil or LPG storage heater.
We can install all types of warm air heaters from domestic to industrial installations. We use Lennox warm air heaters for the smaller type domestic or office installations as they produce the most efficient condensing type burners, these units can also be fitted with cooling coils to provide heating and cooling if required. For the larger industrial and commercial installations we use Powrmatic heaters, these type of heaters can be free blowing or connected to ductwork, suspended from the roof structure or floor mounted or mounted externally. We can also replace any existing faulty or inefficient rooftop AHU/package unit with a bespoke roof top system; this can connect to the existing ductwork, gas and electrical supplies avoiding the need to replace complete systems, saving money and internal disruptions.
As an alternative to warm air we can supply and fit radiant tube heating systems, these are generally installed in buildings with large internal volumes and high air change rates, such as warehouses etc.
We can supply and fit Daikin Altherma or Mitsubishi Ecodan air to water heat pump systems, these systems can be installed in new domestic applications or retrofitted into existing traditional wet systems providing the heating and hot water primary sources.
An air source heat pump is dimensioned to meet all your heating and hot water needs which for the average UK home accounts for 82% of your total final energy use according to the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) 2013 statistics. When you heat your property using a heat pump, your running costs are reduced to the amount of electricity required to run the heat pump, and because a heat pump is designed to produce at least 2.5 units of heat for 1 unit of input electricity, this can mean considerable savings to your energy bill if it is replacing oil, LPG or all-electric heating.
The Renewable Heat Incentive is now available and rewards householders investing in air source heat pumps with regular payments received in respect of the amount of heat energy produced by the heat pump. Unfortunately, the RHI does not cover Air to Air heat pumps.
Investment and Funding
The installation of an air source heat pump normally will require an investment of between £6,000 and £10,000, depending on different factors, such as the size of the property and the levels of energy demand. The amount of money that you save from introducing an air heat pump system will depend on the characteristics of your property, how warm you like to keep your house, etc. When converting from an oil boiler to an air source heat pump, our customers on average save between £600-£1000 a year.
