Heat Pumps

A heat pump is one of the most effective ways to heat or cool a building using renewable energy. Unlike many other forms of renewable energy that depend on the sun shining or the wind blowing the energy for the heat pump is always available. Heat is widely available in the ground, air and water around your house. These natural sources of heat are constantly replenished by the sun, wind and rain. A heat pump system will harness these free and renewable energy sources for heating your house and supplying hot water at a very low cost. Annual Costs of Heating Systems Independent studies state that heat pumps are cheaper and more efficient than fuel oil, gas and wood pellet heating. However attention to detail on the installation is critical to success. The heat pump has the ability to extract heat from one source (i.e. ground or air) and discharge it into another (i.e. underfloor or radiators).
