SunKatcher Air Source Heat Pumps
Promoting the use of renewable energy
SunKatcher are keen to promote renewable energy systems which are fast becoming the preferred alternative to fossil fuelled systems because of their long-term savings, both financially and environmentally.
Air Source Heat pumps are electrically powered appliances consisting of a compressor and two heat exchangers designed to provide space heating through water systems, either radiators or underfloor heating.
Air Source Heat Pumps are a very cost effective means of providing space heating, because of their high efficiency. The heat output can be up to 4 times greater than the electrical input energy - something not possible with other methods of heating!
Why choose a heat pump?
The running cost of an air source heat pump is much lower than a conventional electrical heating system because the householder only pays for running the compressor, fan and pump - therefore the majority of the energy supplied to the house is renewable and free. Also heat pumps give a long trouble-free life with very low maintenance costs.
The expected life of a typical air source heat pump is 20 years - much higher than an oil or gas boiler.
