Air Source Heat Pumps

Efficiently heat you home and provide hot water all year by harvesting the air's energy

RenEnergy are MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) approved installers for all air source heat pumps.

Daikin Altherma and Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pump products range from 5-16kW peak output. Each has there own specific advantages depending on a clients requirements. They are particularly good for retrofit installations (i.e. installations in existing properties), where space is limited. They can easily replace or work in combination with existing gas or oil boilers.

How they work
Air source heat pumps are electrically powered and extract energy from the air down to -15oC and exchange this low grade heat through a highly efficient compressor in an outdoor fan unit directly into your home heating or hot water circuit up to a temperature of 55oC. Higher temperatures are achieved by using an in-built electric immersion heater.

Technology efficiency and payback
With a correctly designed air source heat pump system 1 unit of electricity yields 4 units of heat energy will deliver a peak coefficient of performance (COP) figure of 4.

With a payback period of 5 to 8 years, depending on installation details, cost savings over oil and LPG heating systems can be considerable.
