Renewable - Air Source Heat Pump

Air Source Heat Pumps are a cost effective, easy to install, low carbon alternative to traditional boilers in modern buildings, whether newbuild or refurbishments.

By using advanced heat pump technology to provide space heating and hot water, air source heat pumps can reduce a homes CO2 emissions by up to 50% and it’s running costs by 30%. With a conventional gas-fired boiler, 1kW of input energy provides less than 1kW of output energy or heat. In comparison, the air source heat pump converts every 1kW of input energy into an average of 3.6kW of output energy or heat, making it over three times more efficient than even the most modern gas boiler.

The launch of this new heat pump boiler is part of Mitsubishi Electric’s Green Gateway Initiative, a bold and ambitious 10-point plan which points the way towards a reduction of 3 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2016.
