They can be bought for self installation only or can be installed for you at very reasonable rate.
The need has never been greater for environmentally friendly and efficient heating systems, they utilise free energy stored in the air around us, and convert this to useful energy for domestic space heating and hot water.
The Heat pumps can be installed very easily and just connect into your existing heating system and using your existing controls.
You do not have to remove your existing heating system it can be left alone, but with the operation of a couple of valves and a switch the existing heating system can be turned back on.
They are very versatile and can be used in many installations i.e. into a thermal store, straight into central heating radiators or under floor heating, for DHW into copper cylinders or pressurized cylinders.
The Heat pump draws in air and extracts the heat from it and exchanges it to the hot water circuit to your heating system.
There are no ground loops, no internal unit, minimal disruption for installation.
It has never been easier to utilize heat pump technology until now, our unit does all the work, you just connect the flow and return and electrical supply!
A company in Orkney has been installing them with great success that is why we have decided to provide and install them in Shetland as they have a proven track record.
They have been tested to give a COP of 3.34 at 2oC that means an output of 12kw will take an input of under 4kw!.
At higher outside temperatures the efficiency increases for eg COP of 4.95 at 20oC.
Thus in the summer when you are only using hot water it can be nearly 5 times cheaper than an electric immersion very energy efficient.
We have succesfully installed one allready providing heating and hot water to an existing 4 bedroom property in Brae.
It has been installed in a garage next to the house where the temperature has been found to be around 2oC Higher than the outside air temperature. This is more efficient and also protects the unit from Shetlands weather.
Savings on the electricity bill for the winter alone are forecast to be around £700.
This coupled with the massive saving on Hot water in the summer when air temperatures are higher and the heating is off it makes a great energy saving way to cut your bills.
The heat pumps come with a 2 year warranty and are maintained and serviced here in Shetland.
They are cheaper to run than oil.
You don’t have to buy oil up front.
You don’t need to service a heat pump!
Easy to install.
Life expectancy of 20 Years!
