How Do Heat Pumps Work?

Heat pumps work by extracting energy from the sun (renewable energy) and using it to power our heat source, instead of using electrically operate heating systems. This principle even works during the middle of winter and at temperatures as low as -25 degrees. 

We at Sweeney Renewables are aware that many consumers are still unsure of what heat pumps actually are. Heat pumps are being confused as a modern eco-friendly form of boiler that is extremely expensive however, more and more people are installing them in their homes. We have put together some information that we hope you will find useful.

What are Air to Water Heat Pumps?

Heat pumps extract energy from the sun and raises it to a temperature equipped to provide an effective and efficient heating source. This is an extremely environmentally friendly source of heat as approximately 75% of the energy we require to heat our homes is sourced directly from our environment. Air to water heat pumps are the most effective and modern method of hot water heating system on the market today.

A considerable proportion of a monthly budget for hotels and restaurants are taken up by energy bills. Heating and cooling contributes to costs that a small business owner endures on a monthly basis. If the heating systems are not set right or fail the costs will continue to rise. The maintenance and repair charges are enough to put a dent into the finances of any small business. Then, there is the option of replacing the heating system which does not come cheap either. However investing in a new system that considerably cuts down your energy bills may be a good solution to solve your problems.
