Heat Pumps

Heat pumps offer a highly efficient means of transferring heat from an external source, ground, water or air to either stored water or air to provide for space heating and/or pre-heating for domestic hot water.

The efficiency of a heat pump system is measured by the coefficient of performance (CoP). This is the ratio of units of heat output for each unit of electricity used to drive the compressor and pump. CoP varies with the type of source, air based systems generally being slightly less efficient than geothermal or water based. Rarely will it be below 2.5:1 and may be as high as 4:1, thus for every unit of electricity used to power the system 2.5 - 4 units of heat are produced. By comparison a CoP of about 0.95:1 is the best that can be expected from the most efficient modern gas boilers.

Systems can be tailored to meet water heating needs for everything from a modest domestic property to large commercial premises. The latest generation of systems can also be integrated with cooling circuits to provide a complete environmental control package for your building.

ESEA Ltd will install commercial and domestic heat pumps in Peterborough and across the UK, so If you are interested in the possibilities or would simply like to know more we will be pleased to discuss the options with you and, as appropriate, conduct a survey without obligation.
