Go gas-free with a heat pump

One of the biggest carbon-emitters in our homes is usually our home heating system. If you’re ready to leave the gas or oil boiler behind, then a heat pump could be a great option. 

Heat pumps are innovative and efficient heating and cooling systems that work by transferring heat from one location to another using a refrigeration cycle. They can extract heat from the air, ground, or even water sources, and then distribute it throughout your home to provide warmth or coolness as needed.

Operating on the principle of thermodynamics, heat pumps use a refrigerant to absorb heat from a low-temperature source (such as outdoor air or the ground) and release it at a higher temperature into the desired space. Conversely, in cooling mode, the process is reversed, with the heat pump extracting heat from indoors and releasing it outdoors, cooling the space.

Heat pumps are highly efficient and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional heating and cooling systems because they transfer heat, rather than generating it by burning fossil fuels. 

This lower energy use means lower utility bills, as well as reduced carbon emissions. Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular as an eco-friendly way to heat and cool homes in the UK; you can read our full guide to heat pumps here.

If you’re interested in fitting a heat pump, we’d always recommend using a trusted and experienced provider. Earth Save Products have been manufacturing, supplying and installing air source heat pumps to homes and businesses across the UK for over 15 years; find out more here.
