Examples of Air Source Heat Pump Installations using Danfoss Systems

Self Build & Air Source Heat Pump - Yorkshire

The owners of this property knew that they wanted their new home to be more energy efficient, which meant that it needed a more efficient heating method than a conventional oil fired boiler. Because of its village location the property did not have a gas connection and, with the rising price of oil, the couple felt there must be a better way of heating the property. They chose an Air Source Heat Pump supplied by Danfoss Heat Pumps UK. The owner Bill Heath is delighted with the air source heat pump and expects his fuel bills to cost him half as much as his bungalow did to run, yet the new property is twice the size!

Having an air source heat pump fitted also means the property has a better rating on its energy performance certificate, which is better for the environment and a great selling point for any property if Mr and Mrs Heath ever decide to sell! Mr Heath explains "We didn’t know much about air source heat pumps before we built our own home, but we knew we wanted to save energy, reduce our bills and have less of an impact on the environment. We feel we have achieved all three and now have a home that is pleasantly warm all year round, at a fraction of the cost of conventional heating methods."
