Heat Pumps

A heat pump is a very cost effective way of providing heating to your living or working space. TNL Plumbing can provide you with a quality heat pump that is efficient and capable of providing heat energy that is not possible through other heating methods.

 

Air Source Heat Pumps

 

Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air. This heat can then be used to warm water for radiators or under floor heating systems, or to warm the air in your home. Air source heat pumps are now seen as green energy, providing us with low cost heating.

 

The benefits of air source heat pumps:

 

•

Reduce your fuel bills: air source heat pumps run on electricity, so there's no need to pay for gas, oil or solid fuels to heat your home.

•

Cut down on wasted electricity: heating your home with an air source heat pump is much more efficient than using electric radiators.

 

Ground Source Heat Pumps

 

Ground source heat pumps use pipes buried in the garden to extract heat from the ground. This is usually used to warm water for radiators or underfloor heating systems. It can also be used to pre-heat water before it goes into a more conventional boiler. Beneath the surface, the ground stays at a constant temperature, so a ground source heat pump can be used throughout the year - even in the middle of winter.

 

Ground Source Heat Pumps have very low maintenance costs and can be expected to provide reliable and environmentally friendly heating for in excess of 20 years.

 

The benefits of ground source heat pumps

 

•

Reduce your CO2 emissions: on average a ground source heat pump could save around 540kg of carbon dioxide every year when replacing an oil boiler.

•

Eliminate your fuel bills: ground source heat pumps run on electricity, so there's no need to pay for gas, oil or solid fuels to heat your home.

•

Cut down on wasted electricity: heating your home with a ground source heat pump is much more efficient than using electric radiators.

 

Solar Heating

 

Solar technology offers a clean, cost effective and environmentally friendly form of energy. Connected to your hot water system, the solar energy is captured using the panels on your roof and the energy is then used to heat the water and your central heating.

 

The benefits of solar water heating

 

•

Hot water throughout the year: the system works all year round, you may need to heat the water further with a boiler or immersion heater during the winter.

•

Cut your bills: sunlight is free, so once you've paid for the initial installation your hot water costs will be significantly reduced.

•

Cut your carbon footprint: solar hot water is a green, renewable heating system and doesn't release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants
