Reduce monthly bills with a renewable energy system
Of the 26 million homes and 5.6 million businesses in Great Britain, the majority rely on gas, electricity, oil and LPG for their energy supply. This is a problem because fossil fuels are expensive, unsustainable and bad for the environment. In fact, heating accounts for 20% of carbon emissions and 40% of all energy consumption in the UK.
Fortunately, we can now produce heat and hot water for our homes and business premises using renewable energy systems. Compared to traditional fossil fuel systems, they are cleaner, greener, safer, more controllable and add value to your home.
70%
of global CO2 emissions from the energy sector can be reduced by 2050 and phased out by 2060.
19million
heat pumps need to be installed by 2050 to meet the UK’s net zero carbon emissions target.
95%
of our energy needs can be met by renewable sources such as solar and wind power by the year 2050.
So, What Exactly Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a device that is able to absorb heat from the outside air, and then deliver this heat within the interior of buildings. There are actually a couple of types of air source heat pumps in Wrexham available today. First of all, there are air to air systems which are able to provide warm air, that which is circulated to heat an entire building, and air to water systems which also accomplish a similar task, heating water which can provide both heating and hot water for buildings via radiators, or and underfloor system in the building itself.

How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Actually Work?
An air source heat pump is a device that has three primary parts:
- There is the evaporator coil which is able to absorb heat from the outside air. The compressor pumps a type of refrigerant through the heat pump, then compresses the gaseous refrigerant to the proper temperature for heat distribution.
- The heat exchanger will then transfer the heat made available through the refrigerant to either air or water.
- The air-to-water system will then make it possible for the heat to be used to heat water which can preheat water within a storage tank, or it can circulate through the underfloor of a building or can simply be redirected to radiators.
Heat pumps will produce very hot water which will actually be at a lower temperature (typically 35-45o C) than what is typical of standard boiler systems, which then will make the underfloor heating very effective. Additionally, the air-to-air system can be used to produce warm air which is circulated by fans that are part of the system that can heat an entire building.
Ground Source Heating Systems
Ground source heating systems are electrically powered and work by tapping the natural heat that is stored in the earth to heat your home. In addition to heating your home, a heat pump in Wrexham can also cool your home during the summer months, as well as heating your swimming pool and your domestic hot water.
