Just how efficient are Air Source Heat Pumps?

Air source heat pumps are a great alternative to conventional heating solutions. You can generate heat while at the same time reducing both your carbon footprint and monthly energy bills.

At Eco House Solutions, we supply Viessmann air source heat pumps that highly effective and efficient design. We take pride not only in the products we chose to provide but also in the care we take in our relationship with our customers. All our installations are carried out by technicians trained at Viessmann, to ensure that you are getting the best possible service and support from the start.

How efficient are these heat pumps?
The efficiency of a heat pump is calculated as a Coefficient of Performance (CoP) unit. It calculates the efficiency of a heat pump by comparing the input and output amount. So if a heat pump makes use of one kW of electricity while giving and output of four kW of heat, the CoP here is four. The efficiency of the pump is measured in terms of a higher CoP value.

An air-source heat pump although not as efficient as a ground source heat pump, has the potential to reach a minimum level of 3 CoP even with the temperature dropping down to -3°C to 10°C. The CoP increases with a higher outdoor temperature. Especially for an environment like the UK, the air source heat pumps make an excellent choice where temperatures are relatively mild but easily achieve the mid-teens or higher over spring and summer.

When you choose a Viessman Heat Pump, you also get the intelligence and design features that make this a sensible alternative to the many cheap alternatives - further reducing you running cost, and increasing efficiency.
