Heat pumps

Heat pumps come in various types. The three main types of heat pumps are:

• Air source heat pumps (ASHPs)

• Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs)

• Water source heat pumps (WSHPs)

Installation requirements may vary depending on the type of heat pump and the specific property in question. Generally, heat pumps require adequate space for installation, proper ventilation, and compatibility with existing heating or cooling systems.

The installation time for a heat pump can vary depending on factors such as the type of heat pump, the installation's complexity, and the property's size. On average, installation may take several days to complete.

Heat pumps usually can vary depending on the manufacturer and model. Many only cover parts only. 

 At Ideal Heating, our heat pump warranties cover full parts and labour for your peace of mind. Installers should ensure customers are aware of the warranty terms and conditions.

Heat pumps rely on heat from the outside air, so you may be concerned that they will not work in winter. However, the refrigerant liquid in your heat pump is so sensitive that even the tiniest traces of heat in the air can boil it. 

You can understand how well your heat pump will work in different seasons by looking at the SCOP, or the seasonal coefficient of performance, which takes into account how seasonal changes affect the efficiency of your heat pump.

A heat pump is a heating system that extracts heat from the air, ground, or water and transfers it into a building to provide warmth. It operates on the principle of refrigeration, absorbing heat from a low-temperature source, compressing it, and releasing it at a higher temperature.

Heat pumps are considered to be an environmentally friendly heating solution. This is due to them absorbing heat from renewable energy sources such as air, ground, or water, and being powered by electricity, which itself can be provided by renewable power sources. 

This means they reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions associated with heating social housing properties.
