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.

In most mainland European countries today – newly constructed dwellings would rarely use a fossil fuel heating system, opting for renewable systems like heatpumps for heating and hot water.

Main 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
