Global
warming is a fact that we all now have to face the law and increased
use of renewable energy make the need for energy efficient homes with
minimal CO2 emissions even more drives. Global
warming linked to carbon dioxide emissions generation and as a result,
the British government has determined that this country contribute a
large part to play to reduce emissions.
The government has established the long-term goals to reduce the UK's emissions by 80% from 1990 until 2050. To reduce emissions, we need to reduce "CARBON" produced and manufactured in order to reduce its presence. In our homes, 47% of carbon dioxide emissions is produced from our heating and 27% made form our hot water.
There are some 3.5 million households, the most efficient in the UK with type G Products A heating efficiency. 70% of households do not have a full set of heating controls. Still 16.4 million households with non-condensing boilers. You can contribute to the UK emissions and also reduce your heating costs by installing renewable energy saving heating products such as: air source heat pumps. Solar hot water roof panels. Solar photovoltaic electric roof panels.
There are also new incentives from the government added to a homeowner deal with the costs associated with these investments. The
Green Deal sees a 14000000000 pounds investment in energy-saving
products that will see the biggest changes to homes since the end of
World War II. Everyone
can for a Green New Deal of the government who see homeowners get free
installation of heating, hot water, roof insulation and drafts that are
paid for by the savings generated by the installation of energy saving
products. A
heat pump is a device outside of a property, the naturally occurring
energy from the air around us upgrades and uses this location to provide
space heating and domestic hot water.
What are the benefits? 30-50% reduction in CO2 emissions, helps to achieve code, No gas, flues or ventilation required, low operating costs, low maintenance, perfect with floor to further improve operating costs, radiators can be upgraded and save money! MCS approved.
How it works: In theory, the air source heat pump works like a refrigerator in reverse, where a refrigerator converts the warm air in the room is too cold, the air source converts the cooler air outside to produce heat through an inverter compressor in the unit , like when you place your thumb on an old air pump and try to pump air, the heat is transferred to the thumb felt this heat directly into the heating system and hot water tank.
How will it save money?
A properly installed air source heat pump will save you money by your gas bill or oil supply and can reduce your heating costs by 45%. A case study showed that a 3-bed with storage heating and fireplace series family home heating bills reduced from € 1000 a year just £ 384 per year saved the family 750 pounds....
