Understanding Commercial Air Source Heat Pumps
When you think “heat pump”, think fridge in reverse. Instead of pushing heat out, it pulls warmth from outside air into your building—even when it’s near freezing. Then, it can reverse the cycle to act like an air conditioner in summer.
How Do They Work?
- Air Intake: A fan draws in outside air.
- Heat Extraction: A refrigerant (like eco-friendly R290) absorbs ambient heat.
- Compression: The refrigerant is compressed, raising its temperature.
- Heat Distribution: Warm refrigerant flows through internal coils, heating water or air for your building.
- Cycle Repeats: After releasing heat, the refrigerant expands and cools, ready to absorb more heat.
Advantages for Businesses
- Energy Efficiency: Up to 4x more efficient than traditional boilers.
- Zero-Carbon Refrigerant: R290 reduces greenhouse gases.
- Dual Mode: Provides heating in winter and cooling in summer.
- Cost Savings: Lower running costs mean quick payback.
- Minimal Footprint: Compact units fit on rooftops or concrete pads.
Government Grants & Financing Options
The UK government actively encourages renewable heating. You could get up to 30% off installation costs with grant programmes. Combine that with low-interest finance packages, and the upfront spend becomes manageable.
Popular incentives:
– Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS): Offers £5,000–£7,500 per installation.
– Local Authority Grants: Regional schemes in England, Scotland, Wales.
– Enhanced Capital Allowances: Tax relief on energy-saving equipment.
