AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS

Air Source Heat Pumps use a natural source of heat (air) to produce energy. They operate by extracting heat from the outside air by absorbing the warmth and then convert this into heat.

They can operate even when the outside air temperatures drop as low as -20C, so the can work efficiently all year around in the UK, even when temperatures are at their coldest in the winter.

An Air Source Heat Pump should provide approximately 3.5 times more natural energy from the air than the electricity needed to run the pump, so this is both significantly more economically and environmentally friendly than conventional boilers.

They can heat your home and heat your water, so provide everything you need for your energy all year around and can also provide air conditioning in warmer months too!

Pros and Cons of a Heat Pump

What are the Advantages of an Air Source Heat Pump?

Unlike a gas boiler, they do not produce carbon when operating. While they do use electricity, ASHP’s can be combined with solar PV panels for clean electricity.

Comparatively low running costs

Work well with underfloor heating and low temperature radiators

There are certain grants available the offset the costs of installing an air source heat pump, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).

What are the Disadvantages of an Air Source Heat Pump?

They are not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution and may not be suitable for every home in the same way as gas boilers are.

Electricity is still needed to power an air source heat pump. This will likely increase your electricity bills but decrease other heating costs.

It is essential to design and specify the system correctly and ideally the insulation, airtightness and emitters

The bigger the difference between the outside air and the target temperature the lower the efficiency.

Air Source Heat Pumps – Benefits

There are a number of benefits of installing Air Source Heat Pumps in your building:

Reduce your heating and hot water bills by up to 40%

4x more efficient than conventional boilers

Helps reach SAP rating on new builds

Greener and more environmentally friendly

Better for the environment (up to 68% less CO2)

Eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

Longer life expectancy than a boiler (20 years vs 10 years)

Easier maintenance than a boiler

There is no CO emission from the unit, so its safe

NIBE Air Source Heat Pumps

Compact and Light Outdoor Units

Keep your home warm during the cold months of the year and cool during the summer with a NIBE air source heat pump. Lower your energy costs in an environmentally friendly way by converting the energy from the outside air, resulting in a pleasant indoor climate.

NIBE has been manufacturing heat pumps in Sweden for over forty years. Stretching back even further than that, they have been manufacturing renewable energy solutions in Sweden since 1952. They are experts in the renewable heating product industry and create market-leading, extremely efficient products.

NIBE S2125

NIBE S2125 is an intelligent inverter controlled air / water heat pump. With NIBE indoor modules, it forms a highly efficient climate system for your home. The heat pump operates with a natural refrigerant for a sustainable impact on the climate and the environment. It provides optimised savings because it automatically adapts to the home's power needs.

NIBE S2125 has an optimised annual heating factor, which provides a low operating cost and hot water with high performance. The working area provides a single-flow temperature of up to 75°C. At an outdoor temperature of down to -25°C, up to 65°C is still delivered, while the sound level is low.

Together with the NIBE S-series indoor module with built-in wifi connection and the possibility of wireless accessories, it becomes a natural part of your connected home. The smart technology automatically adjusts the indoor climate and gives you complete control of the system from your smartphone or tablet. High comfort and low energy consumption - at the same time as you do nature a favour.

NIBE F2050

NIBE F2050 is an intelligent, compact and inverter-controlled air/water heat pump with climate-friendly refrigerant. The NIBE F2050 provides optimised savings as the heat pump automatically adapts to your home’s output requirements all year round.

The heat pump operates at an outdoor temperature as low as –20°C and delivers a supply temperature of up to 58°C. The effective cooling function allows the heat pump to deliver a comfortable indoor climate even at high outdoor temperatures. It also has a climate-friendly refrigerant to reduce its impact on the environment.

Thanks to smart technology, the product gives you control over your energy consumption, and will be a key part of your connected home. The efficient control system automatically adjusts the indoor climate for great comfort, and you do nature a favour at the same time.

Heat your home using free energy from the outside air

You can heat your home using "free" energy from the outside air with an air source heat pump (ASHP). ASHPs extract heat from the ambient air, even in cold temperatures, and transfer it indoors for heating and hot water. They are an energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating systems, potentially saving money on energy bills and reducing carbon emissions.

Efficient heating

An efficient Heat Pump system provides efficient heating and domestic hot water throughout the year, even in ambient temperatures of -25oC.

Compact installation

The NIBE F series Mono system utilises an outdoor unit, which combines the refrigerant and water circuits, removing the need for internal installation space. The compact size and low noise level of the outdoor unit provides an unobtrusive solution for domestic applications.

Simple operation

The NIBE SMO S40 gives optimised control of the climate system and is designed to be combined with NIBE air source heat pumps to provide an integrated climate system for homes and properties. The NIBE SMO S40 offers maximum flexibility when it comes to system solutions. The control module can be connected to components such as a water heater, additional heat sources and other accessories specific to a customised installation. Up to eight NIBE air source heat pumps can be connected to a control system.
