The world community has been focusing on the use of renewable energy sources for a while now. These alternative energy technologies are now a necessary component of our daily lives and are no longer merely futuristic science fiction.
Heat pumps are a fantastic alternative source for heating your home, and manufacturers now offer a wide range of them as a result of the growing popularity of renewable energy sources. An enormous 87% of the heat pumps installed in the UK are air source heat pumps. Due to their excellent suitability for both new construction and retrofits, they are the most popular option.
- ASHPs are efficient
Since air source heat pumps are more efficient than other heating and cooling systems, using one of these systems to heat or cool your home typically requires less fuel than using a more traditional system would. Lessening your energy use over time can help you lower your energy costs as well as your environmental impact.
- You can typically reduce your overall utility costs by using ASHPs
The cost of your overall energy is reduced as a result of using less fuel. Your existing heating or cooling system, where you live, and the cost of fuel in your neighbourhood all affect how much you can save. Researchers found that homeowners in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions who switch to air source heat pumps save a lot more money yearly than those who stick with electric resistance heaters.
- Health and Wellness Advantages Of ASHPs
Have you ever let the sound of a furnace deter you? Particularly if you’re using ductless mini splits, air source heat pumps run relatively quietly in comparison to other heating and cooling technologies.
Are they really that quiet? Decibels (dB) are the standard unit of measurement for sound, with lower decibel values indicating softer sound. Air source heat pumps help improve air quality by filtering the air and lowering allergens while heating and cooling your home, in addition to the increased comfortability that comes from noise benefits. Your environment will be dehumidified as a result, improving the comfort of your living spaces.
- ASHPs integrate a heating and cooling system
You gain from the heater and air conditioner combined when you install an air source heat pump. This means that installing two separate systems that serve different purposes typically requires less time and money, as well as less physical space than is needed for two separate technologies.
- ASHPs enable zoned heating and cooling in your home
You can set a particular room or zone in your home’s HVAC system to a particular temperature, which is another advantage of using air source heat pumps. If you have consistently colder or warmer areas of your home that you’d like to regulate, this is especially helpful. As an alternative, keeping different parts of your home at various temperature settings is useful if you want to conserve energy and money.
Conclusion
Solar-powered air source heat pumps are the most effective way to reduce your heating and cooling costs. You can use your home’s free, clean electricity to power your heat pumps by combining these two technologies.
