Heating pump installation is helping all types of commercial premises to drastically reduce their heating bills. A heat pump converts a natural heat source to provide a hot water supply and warmth for radiators or underfloor heating. As an ecological form of energy, the cost of the installation can be offset by payments from the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. The No1PHD heating engineers are highly experienced at installing heat pumps in all types of commercial properties in Portsmouth.

A heat pump draws in warmth from the natural environment outside your business. It uses the low temperatures found in the air, land or water and converts them to those with a much higher rating. The heat exchange is made through the system’s liquid refrigerant and compressor unit. It uses the same familiar principle as refrigeration, but in reverse. Heat pumps have to be driven by an external energy force such as gas or electric. However, they use a fraction of the energy compared to conventional heating systems. Heat pumps also produce considerably fewer carbon emissions, a positive advantage, particularly for manufacturing businesses where it’s important to achieve a low carbon footprint. In addition, your company should expect much lower energy bills as you’ll recoup approximately three units of warmth for every unit that the system uses from an electric or gas supply. Typical systems have a life span of fifteen to twenty years, so the savings for your business could be considerable.
Depending on the system, heat pumps can be integrated into your existing heating system or a new commercial radiator installation from our team of Portsmouth commercial heating experts. Heat pumps are compatible with Smart technology and can be installed in a whole building or one area such as a warehouse. There are two main types:
These are relatively inexpensive to install, can be used as air conditioning units and are exceptionally quiet in operation. They are fitted to an exterior wall and draw in air from the atmosphere. The generally low temperature of the air is converted to heat as it evaporates and turns to a liquid as it passes from one copper tube to another.
This version harnesses the sun’s warmth that has built up in the soil or an expanse of water. Incoming temperatures are usually stable compared to those of an air system, making geothermal heating pumps far more efficient. A large area is required for installing up to 100 metres of pipes, which are laid either horizontally or vertically. The excavation work also makes installation more expensive and potentially disruptive to your business.
