Air to Water Heat Pump

We are already starting to see that governments around the globe, including ours in the UK are penalising users of fossil fuels with higher costs & more legislation, which is a movement that is gathering momentum and showing no signs of stopping, we will cover more on this below. On the contrary there are incentives through the forms of grants and tax relief to help people change over to air source heating, there are also other forms of non fossil fuel heating such as electric radiators, and electric boilers but these have much lower efficiency than an air source heat pump and that is the reason why air source heat pumps will soon become as popular as what the traditional gas boiler has been for the last 20 years.

PV panel Installation Cost

It is almost certain that at some point you will need to change your gas or other fossil fuel boiler to a renewable heat generator such as an air source heat pump, whether that is due to regulation, running costs, availability of coal, gas & oil, or because of global pressure to go green.

One of the most important things to do when installing a heat pump at home is to have your radiators upgraded for larger or more efficient radiators. Heat pumps are designed to keep a constant temperature by heating the water which runs through your radiators 20% to 40% cooler than what gas and oil boilers are traditionally run at, this is know as the flow temperature, however by heating over a longer period of time with bigger radiators that let more heat out into the rooms, then you can achieve the same or sometimes more heat than what you had before. It is strongly recommended not to cut corners on radiators, in fact it is so important that all MCS accredited installers need to follow strict rules to calculate and fit the right size radiators, or they risk their accreditation status being reversed.

Heat Pump System

When installing a heat pump at home, it is important to upgrade your radiators for larger or more efficient ones. Heat pumps operate by heating water that runs through the radiators at a lower temperature compared to gas and oil boilers. This is known as the flow temperature. By using larger radiators that release more heat into the rooms over a longer period, you can achieve the same or even more heat output than before. It is highly recommended not to cut corners on radiators, and accredited installers must adhere to strict rules in calculating and fitting the right-sized radiators to maintain their accreditation status.

Solar Panel Efficiency

A typical solar storage system with battery storage should cost between £9,000 to £13,000 to install, however the initial cost can be offset by by the savings on the electricity bill. A 3kw to 6kw solar system annually will generate between 2000 to 5500 kWh, so providing you use or store that power, multiplied by the standard rate electric price of 34p, is between £680 to £1870 of savings per year, or monthly works out at between £56 to £155 a month. If you need or want to use finance to fund your solar installation, then you could take out a plan which matches the monthly savings that the system makes, which means that for electricity and capital repayments combined, you would be paying the same, or less than you are right now for electricity alone.

Heat Source Pump

Air source heat pumps can be used for air cooling, however it is only air-to-air pumps that are capable of this and are usually only seen in commercial buildings, due to the complex nature of having to retrofit ducting to each room of your house. Air-to-water heat pumps are connected up to a wet heating circuit and because of this, cooling by sending cold water through radiators or underfloor heating just doesn’t work like it does with air-to-air systems.

Many people assume that heat pumps are a new concept, as they haven’t been traditionally used in residential UK homes until the last 5 to 10 years, however heat pumps have been around for over 150 years and they are much more commonly used in residential homes around Europe, in particularly Scandinavia where they are exposed to much colder weather conditions than the UK, plus the most notable mass adoption of heat pumps in Europe is in Germany, where electric heat pumps have outsold fossil fuel burning alternatives since 2021 and are now known as the new normal in home heating. Germany is a technologically advanced nation, centrally located in Europe and is usually a good indicator of what the future changes we will see in the UK.
