Heat Pumps
Cutting Energy Costs With Environmentally Friendly Solutions
Ground source heat pumps are excellent low carbon heating systems.
They are popular due to their high efficiency rate and low running costs. A ground source heat pump makes use of the ground’s constant temperature and uses that to heat up your home.
Once installed, there are very few running costs.
Electrical Compliance and Safety will source, install and provide maintenance services for your Heat Pump.
Air Source Heat Pumps
These units extract latent heat from the outside air and convert that heat into useable energy.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source or geothermal heat pumps extract thermal energy stored under the ground’s surface.
Water Source Heat Pumps
These heat pumps reclaim heat from external water sources such as lakes or wells
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
A heat pump extracts heat from the outside air, ground, or local water sources, even at low temperatures, and converts it into energy that can be used within a building’s heating or cooling system. This low-cost, low-impact energy can be used to maintain indoor temperatures at ideal conditions, can provide hot water, and can help your business meet their decarbonisation goals.
What are the key benefits of using a Heat Pump from DBI?
- Low Energy Usage
Up to 70& of the energy used by a Heat Pump is extracted from the outside air, thereby significantly reducing the usage of increasingly expensive electricity from the national grid.
- Efficient Heating
When compared to traditional fossil-fuel fired boilers, Heat Pumps can be up to 500% more efficient, which can radically reduce energy costs.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint
As the majority of the energy used to generate heat through a Heat Pump is renewable, installing Heat Pumps can make a significant contribution to decarbonisation targets.
- Friendly to the Local Environment
Because Heat Pumps do not burn oil, gas, LPG or biomass, or generate fumes of any kind, the air quality in the local area will not be affected in any way. This can be of great importance when installing into buildings such as schools.
- Low Cost Service and Maintenance
The Heat Pump solutions supplied from DBI allow easy access to the system components in order to make maintenance easier and reduce down times and servicing costs.
- Easy to Install
Our Heat Pumps can be installed quickly and easily, allowing cost benefits to be enjoyed straight away.
Reclaiming waste Hot Air from Chillers
A by-product of chilling air for internal building cooling is waste heat that is often vented into the atmosphere. Air source heat pumps can harness this waste hot air as an energy source and can effectively use this air to power other elements of the HVAC system such as hot water. This solution can offer significant increases in system efficiency and therefore reduced energy consumption.
