Ground-source heat pumps We install ground-source heat pumps to drive underfloor heating and pre-heat domestic hot water.In a well-insulated building, a heat pump is an efficient alternative to a conventional boiler, giving 4kWh of heat for 1kWh of electric energy consumed. Heat pumps achieve this efficiency, called a coefficient of performance, only if the water being pumped into the heating system is at no more than 35° to 40°C. The hotter the water, the lower the efficiency of the pump. However, if your building is efficient, this level of heat is perfectly adequate and a heat pump may well be a good option. If you would like to know more about how a heat pump works and the particulars of the pumps we install, follow this link to Kensa Engineering Ltd.: http://www.kensaengineering.com/ Call or e-mail if you would like a price to supply and/or install a heat pump.
