Are you refurbishing your property? Building a new home from scratch, or adding an extension? Or do you need an alternative to gas and oil heating methods? In many parts of the country fuel costs are soaring and traditional gas and oil boilers are no longer the efficient choice for intelligent consumers. But how do you heat your home if you do not use these traditional fuel sources? Is there a way of generating economical, safe and convenient heat without oil and gas? Take a look at the possibilities of heat pumps. You may not have heard of the heat pump system but it is becoming more popular in homes and businesses across the country. And what’s more, Eoc Services Air Source Heat pumps prices are down – meaning you can get a good deal if you install a system now. But what exactly are heat pumps and how do heat pumpsystems work? Read on to discover a little more about the technology behind these surprisingly efficient heating systems.


What is a heat pump? An air source heat pump uses thermal energy to generate the heat you need for your home. Thermal energy comes from the sun but you do not need the day to be sunny or warm in order to generate it. Thermal heat is present in the atmosphere in even the coldest countries such as Norway and Sweden, where they use heat pumps to provide warmth for their houses. Thermal energy is always present in the atmosphere and one great benefit is – it’s free. The energy is abundant and it doesn’t harm the environment to extract it.


How do heat pumps work? The system is made up of the thermal energy from the air, a pair of heat exchangers, and energy to drive the pump and keep the heating system going. The system is relatively simple and the concept is easy to understand. The heat pump takes energy from the atmosphere in the form of thermal energy. The pump takes this air into the system then passes it through a machine called an evaporator which turns it into a gas. When the gas is in the system it goes through a compressor. A compressor works to compress the gas so the temperature rises. Whenever a gas is compressed the temperature goes up. Next the warm, compressed gas passes into another part of the system which is colder than the gas itself. When the warmer gas meets the colder surface it condenses and while it does this the heat is released. This heat is then used within the home in radiators, under floor heating or other heating infrastructures. Heat pumps can be used for heating houses, flats, offices, community centres, and small industrial units. The heat generated is energy efficient and also cuts down on the emissions caused by using gas and oil as fuel sources.
