According to a study published by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) at the end of July, 2 million homes in the UK could have air source heating systems....... thats almost one in ten!.

The report, entitled The UK Supply Curve for Renewable Heat, looks at how to meet the government’s target for 15% of all heating to come from renewable sources by 2020. It concludes that it expects heat pumps, along with biomass boilers, to provide the most significant contribution to meeting this target.

The bulk of air source heat pumps are expected to be used in the domestic sector and there are already incentives in place for installing them. The technology was included in the £65m made available for low-carbon community heating systems and small scale renewables in this year’s Budget.

Now that David Mackay the renowned author of Sustainable Energy: Without the Hot Air is the new Chief Scientific advisor for DECC we can expect more support of this sort from them for the idea of moving towards electrical systems in the home. http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news/pn097/pn097.aspx

Why choose us?

Green Air Central Heating is a provider of cost-efficient eco heating systems designed specifically for domestic homeowners. The Green Air Central Heating Systems utilise air source heat pumps, which work much more efficiently than traditional home heating systems and are able to reduce your home heating bill considerably.

The significant difference to other suppliers of air source heat pump is that Green Air exclusively employs Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pumps. The Ecodan air source heat pump unit is a reliable technology, developed especially for domestic heating and considered as the market leading product. It delivers efficient energy, which means that for every £1 spend on electricity, the air source heat pump generates between £3 to £5 worth of energy. In comparison an oil or gas boiler only produces between 55p and 95p worth of heat for every £1 of fuel burned.This air to water heating system works by extracting, concentrating and transferring the heat from the air and turning it into energy which can then be used to heat hot water for the home.
