What are heat pumps and what are the benefits?

Heat pumps provide an alternative to traditional ways of heating and hot water generation.

Proven technology, widely used in Europe for decades
Installed appropriately they offer lower running costs and carbon emissions than other systems
Heat pumps integrate easily with existing systems such as solar energy and electric battery storage
Very low maintenance – for example the need for regular flue checks in gas and oil boilers is removed
No fuel tank or flue required
Unlike boilers heat pumps are capable of cooling as well as heating, making it possible to control the climate of your home year-round if you select a model with a cooling option
