Heat pumps are the future to help lower carbon emissions
An air source heat pump can massively reduce a home’s carbon footprint — and for many households, will reduce their fuel bills, too
The average household in the UK emits 2.7 tonnes of CO2 every year* from heating alone. By switching to air to water heat pumps to provide heating to our homes, such as the Panasonic Aquarea J Generation with R32 refrigerants, housing emissions can be lowered significantly, plus residents can save on their fuel bills. Air to water heat pumps (by far the most common type of air source heat pump in the UK) is the future for housing and an essential step in challenging climate change.
Air source heat pumps currently on the market are very reliable, are quiet in operation, highly energy efficient when compared to oil-fired boilers or electric heaters, and can play a large part in lowering carbon emissions. Further efficiencies can be achieved when linked to smart controllers to produce significant savings for heating and domestic hot water (DHW) provision.
Panasonic’s Aquarea range of air to water heat pump solutions use only a small amount of electricity to turn surrounding air into hot water to heat our homes and DHW. The new Aquarea J Generation can provide thermal comfort even in extreme conditions with temperatures as low as -20˚C. Heat pumps can be connected to existing radiators, underfloor and fan assisted radiators to deliver heating in the winter, plus dedicated cooling can be provided during the summer if required from the units.
Andy Denton, director of Marshgate Properties, commented: “Selecting sustainable energy options is high on our list of important aspects for the homes we build. We had already installed Panasonic Aquarea Heat Pumps on a previous project a year earlier and have been impressed with the units and their performance. This approach has proven successful for the heating and hot water provision for our latest projects.”
In conclusion, switching to air to water heat pumps to provide heating to our homes, such as the Panasonic Aquarea J Generation with R32 refrigerants, housing emissions can be lowered significantly, plus residents can save on their fuel bills. Air to water heat pumps is the future for the housing sector and an essential step in tackling the climate change problem.
