A cheaper source of sustainable energy

We are all aware of the emergence of ‘eco-friendly’ products for the home, but there is an ongoing debate over how effective they are in comparison to how much they cost, and the true environmental benefits they offer. There is a well-proven technology which provides a sustainable source of energy to heat your home and at an affordable price; the DELTA air source heat pump from YAIR Heating Products. An air source heat pump offers an extremely efficient way of providing energy, using tried and tested technology, as air source heat pumps have been around for over fifty years. It produces significantly more energy than it consumes, so much so, that an independent assessment by National Energy Action* calculates that air source heat pumps operate at efficiencies between 350% and 470%! DELTA heat pumps works firstly, by using a small amount of electricity to drive a pump to extract the ambient heat stored in the air and then converts this, using a compressor and heat exchanger, into heat for domestic heating and hot water. Not only that, it has a proven and quantifiable output - the smaller version at least triples the amount of input used – meaning it enables you to use a great deal less energy than you would usually use to heat your water. Taking into consideration that the average household energy bill will soon approach a record £1,000 a year and, with its capability of reducing your energy bill by around 66%, the savings made by installing a DELTA heat pump will pay off the unit in three years. They can be installed quickly and easily – generally within half a day. It can be installed externally, but also has the added options of being installed internally – say in a loft or garage. As it is out of sight, you can have peace of mind that it isn’t an eyesore and your neighbours won’t complain. Another benefit of the DELTA heat pump is its compatibility with underfloor heating. Not just one of life’s little luxuries, did you know that underfloor heating is more energy-efficient than radiator heating? Using large surfaces such as floors, as opposed to radiators, distributes the heat more evenly and efficiently, which means less heat is wasted and less energy is needed to heat the home. The compatibility of underfloor heating and air source heat pumps make perfect sense, complementing each other to provide something all together superior. Used in association with an air source heat pump, underfloor heating reduces energy consumption in the home by up to 20%!
