Air Source Heat Pumps

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) are a refrigerant-based system and operate like your refrigerator at home. The system can absorb low-grade heat from the air, and raise its temperature efficiently to be suitable for space heating and/or hot water. Renewable Planet works in partnership with the major energy suppliers and system manufacturers including, Viessmann, Mitsubishi and Vaillant.

Viessmann’s Vitocal range, Mitsubishi’s Ecodan and Vaillant’s aroTHERM are air source heat pump systems that can provide water temperatures of up to 60°C (without a backup electric heater) in ambient temperatures as low as -25°C*.

Every household has different heat demands and the conditions for installing a heat pump vary. The range of accessories for both the Viessmann’s Vitocal range, Mitsubishi’s Ecodan and Vaillant’s aroTHERM are suitably flexible and comprehensive. Subject to demand, the heat pump can be supplied fully equipped. This means the heating circuit pump, expansion vessel and safety equipment have already been fully fitted. Even the modular electric instantaneous heater can be easily integrated.

Air Source Heat Pumps qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) which is a government scheme which has been introduced to encourage renewable heat technologies amongst homes, communities and businesses throughout the UK.
