Heat pumps
Heat pumps – A full range of heat pump options is available from Nu-Heat. From ground source to air source or exhaust air, Nu-Heat can specify the correct heat pump model for your project. We can also advise on compliance strategies for the Code for Sustainable Homes.
Because Nu-Heat supplies all of these technologies you can be sure they will integrate seamlessly as we provide all of the fittings necessary to complete the installation.
Heat pumps work by extracting the inexhaustible free supply of solar energy stored naturally either in the ground, air or water and utilizing it for domestic heating and hot water. Solar energy in this form is an unlimited resource that produces no harmful emissions and requires no transportation or supply pipelines.
In a well-insulated property, every 1 kilowatt of electricity used to power the heat pump can provide up to 4 kilowatts of free energy. This ratio is referred to as the Coefficient of Performance or CoP, in this case the CoP would be 4. Looking at it another way, a CoP of 4 means the efficiency of the heat pump is 400%. Compare this to a boiler at 90% efficiency and the advantage is clear.
Advantages
- Low carbon emissions
- Low heating bills with a high-efficiency system
- The perfect partner for Nu-Heat underfloor heating systems
- Full integration with Nu-Heat solar systems
- A good alternative for properties with no access to gas
