Heat Pumps

Considering a heat pump? Ecovision specify, install and commission an extensive range of ground, air and water source heat pumps including single and three phase units, with heating capacities from 5kW to 130kW.

    What they can do for you…

  • Energy costs reduced by up to 50%.
  • CO2 emissions reduced by more than 50% compared to mains gas.
  • 400% energy efficiency.
  • Proven technology.

Call us now on 01453 861354 and you'll have access to the UK's widest range of heat pumps and grants of up to 50%!

Heat pumps tap into the freely available, inexhaustible solar energy stored in the earth and ambient air and convert it into energy which can then be used to provide all year round domestic heating and hot water with the same convenience and reliability as conventional heating systems. In addition, our heat pumps can also be enhanced to offer cooling.

Cost Effective

Heat pumps have been shown to reduce energy costs by up to 50%. The only running cost with heat pumps is the electricity needed to drive the heat pump compressor. Further significant savings can be achieved by setting the heat pump to operate during off-peak periods, making use of cheaper electricity tariffs.

Heat pumps also have none of the safety and maintenance costs associated with conventional heating systems. And because the majority of the energy is extracted free from the environment, running costs are relatively unaffected by the continuing increases in gas and oil costs.

Environmentally Friendly

As heat pumps extract up to 75% of the heating energy directly from the environment, their CO2 emissions compared to a gas central heating system are reduced by approximately 50%. This is a considerable improvement.

The electricity required to run the heat pump can also be sourced through renewable means using ‘green’ electricity tariffs, thus virtually doing away with any use of fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions to zero.

For every 1kW of electricity needed to run the heat pump, up to 4kW of useful heat is provided, giving the heat pump an efficiency of up to 400%.

Energy Efficient

Heat pumps are extremely energy efficient as they consume a small amount of electrical energy to deliver three or four times as much energy as heat. Ecovison heat pumps have a design Coefficient of Performance (COP) of around 4. This means that for every 1kW of electricity needed to run the heat pump, approximately 4kW of useful heat is provided, giving the heat pump an efficiency of around 400%.

A Proven Solution

This is tried and tested technology, used extensively in several parts of Europe and in the USA. In Germany heat pumps are very popular with air source heat pumps overtaking sales of ground source heat pumps. Heat pumps are now widely regarded as one of the most energy efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly methods of providing domestic heating, hot water and comfort cooling.
