Funding secured for air source heat pumps - Dimplex
Energy efficient, low carbon heating is now taken for granted by the owners of a new build property in Scotland - as it's one of the first projects to secure funding from the Scottish Community and Householders Renewables Initiative for the installation of a Dimplex air source heat pump.
The air-to water heat pump stands on purpose-built slab at the side of the four-bedroom property and introduces an established and popular European technology to the UK. It operates by extracting heat from the ambient air temperature as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius.
When installed it is said to have worked instantly - raising the water temperature in the 300 -litre tank from seven degrees Celsius up to 50 degrees in less than an hour. Within three days, the heat pump was operating at full capacity, heating the domestic hot water and a delivering a room temperature of 22 degrees with the help of an underfloor heating system.
