what-are-heat-pumps

 

A heatpump is an electrical device that extracts energy (or heat) from the ground or the air – and converts in into hot water for domestic heating bathing purposes. It typically replaces an oil or gas boiler in a building and operates for ca. 40% – 50% of the cost of a fossil fuel boiler. They operate most efficiently in moderate Climates (like Ireland). Heatpumps are effectively refridgerators or air-conditioning systems in reverse and have been manufactured for over 6 decades.

 

All domestically required energy (either electricity or heat) can be measured in kWH units or kilowatt Hour units. Danfoss heatpumps in this country output 4 – 5 kWH units of heat for every 1 kWH unit of electricity they consume. This makes them the most efficient heating system available today.

 

Dimplex Ground Source Heat Pumps work by absorbing the heat from the sun that is stored in the earth. Ground Source Heat Pumps use a system of pipes containing fluid that are buried underground which absorb geothermal heat and then carry it into your home.

 

More benefits of Heatpumps

  • They offer huge savings on heating and hot water bills
  • There are no Fossil Fuels (Oil, Gas…) needed for heating
  • They are eco-friendly and reduce the carbon footprint of any building
  • They improve the energy rating (BER) of a building increasing its value
  • They can run in weather compensating mode which means they automatically adjust to the outside temperature
  • They are low maintenance and require minimal servicing
  • They are safe to install inside a building – this minimising heat-loss from hot water pipes
  • They are particularly suited to underfloor heating systems
