Heat Pump Boilers

Big savings on CO2… and on running costs too

Public awareness regarding the environmental impact and energy efficiency of our homes is growing in the UK, especially with rising energy costs. So if you’re a property developer or homeowner, you need to consider the latest range of heat pump heating technologies.

The key to reducing carbon emissions from buildings is to use less fossil fuel and that’s exactly what heat pumps do. By harnessing renewable energy from the environment they can produce around 4kw of useable heat from just 1kw of electricity.

AAC is an approved installer for the Daikin Altherma and Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pump boiler home heating systems. Both manufacturers have decades of experience with heat pumps and offer the latest inverter technology for the ultimate in fuel efficiency.

Space and water heating represents 73% of UK residential energy consumption. So replacing a conventional gas or oil boiler with a heat pump boiler is the single best way to reduce carbon emissions, not to mention your fuel bills! For the developer it helps achieve level 3 of the Code for sustainable Homes (mandatory now for social housing and from 2010 for private housing).

Heat pump technology has been around for some 50 years and has always been an efficient way to heat air. What’s new is that they can now also heat water. In a nation such as ours, with its love of radiators, this was the breakthrough needed to enter the domestic heating market. The latest heat pump boilers are approximately five times more efficient than any brand new condensing boiler! Outstanding!
