Wondering if heat pumps are worth the investment? Read on to discover why installing a heat pump is not only the right thing to do for the environment, but why it makes commercial sense too.
30 million homes and businesses in the UK need to decarbonise in the next 25 years.*
Heating them contributes almost a quarter of all UK emissions. If we’re to fulfil the UK’s commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, we’re all going to have to make changes to how we heat our homes and our workplaces. The sooner we start, the better for all of us and for this precious planet.
But where to start? Let’s begin by taking a quick look at some heat pump basics.
Instead of generating heat through gas powered systems, heat pumps are an energy efficient system that transfers heat from one place to the other; typically, from the air, ground or water, where it can be used to heat radiators and hot water.
While heat pumps rely on electricity from the National Grid to power them – unless you have your own, renewable energy supply – they emit no pollution or carbon emissions at the point of use. They also produce more energy than they consume. For example, for every 1kW of electricity a ground source heat pump consumes it will produce 3 to 4kW of heat. That’s why heat pumps are a key step on the pathway to Net Zero.
Three types of heat pump are best suited to businesses:
Deciding which type is right for your premises depends on several factors as we’ll now explore.
The cost of installing a heat pump of any kind is expensive compared to a traditional gas boiler, but they are significantly more efficient and can be powered directly through on-site renewable generation. This means energy independence, so you’ll no longer be susceptible to fluctuations in energy prices. It’s important, therefore, to look at the longer-term benefits for your business and for the environment.
The benefits of installing heat pumps at your premises, whether that’s retrofitting or installing one as part of renovation works or new-build premises, are multiple and far reaching. For example:
Installing heat pumps in your commercial premises is a significant step in the decarbonisation of your business. But it’s a step that can also be complex. We can make life that little bit easier for you by managing everything from defining the scope right through to commissioning your new heat pump.
