Heat Pump Benefits vs Traditional Gas Boiler

An Air Source Heat Pump extracts heat from the air and elevates it to a higher temperature using advanced heat pump technology. The system compresses the refrigerant to raise its temperature by utilising electricity and refrigerant. The refrigerant then condenses back into a liquid, releasing the stored heat, which is distributed to your radiators or underfloor heating system.

Heat Pump Questions

The short answer is YES!

Heat pump systems have been installed and have operated successfully for many years in some of the coldest parts of the world.

Heat Pump technology was primarily developed in Scandinavia, where the winter months are harsh. Therefore, heat pump systems can most definitely work well during British winters. The key factor to their success is the design and specification process, which ensures the system can produce enough energy for the property’s requirements.

Heat Pump systems work very similarly to refrigerators, except in reverse. Air Source Heat Pumps can extract heat from the air even when temperatures are as low as -15 degrees centigrade.

No, while some units are louder than others, they usually operate between 40 and 60 decibels, which is roughly as loud as a dishwasher or a quiet library.

ASHP noise is only generated when it is in operation, and double glazing will largely minimise any noise generated.

Customers ask us whether a traditional boiler is any better than an air source heat pump?

They both provide a source of heat for your home or business however, here are the advantages of having a heat pump installed over a conventional boiler:

  • Long life span and heating system warranty
  • Strong heat output
  • Higher energy efficiency
  • Lower carbon emissions
  • Renewable heat incentive scheme available
  • Fast installation process
  • No concern over fluctuating wholesale gas prices

* Air-source heat Pumps (ASHPs) are typically 200-400% efficient, meaning they can produce 2-4kWh of heat for every 1kWh of electricity.

**An air source heat pump could reduce your household carbon emissions by over 23 tonnes of CO2 over 10 years. That’s the same as 30 return flights from Heathrow to Madrid!

*** Depending on usage and property heat loss

Ryan was great. Very knowledgeable and fair with his pricing. Another company had quoted us 6 times as much as he charged us. Ryan did the work in less than 20 mins that they “needed” 2hours to do. He even fixed a slow draining sink that he noticed was not draining well enough.

Ryan has carried out the service of my rental property boiler and cooker and has provided good photos and information in condition of the boiler I would not hesitate in recommending his services to friends and family and will be using him again to do any work for me in future

Yesterday Ryan replaced our digital thermostat system with a Tado smart thermostat product. He did a great job - as a Tado specialist, Ryan explained how the new system worked, answered all our queries and helped us set up the Tado app. We were very impressed and would highly recommend Ryan and Thermatek Heating.

Working with Ryan was a pleasure. He came out to do an assessment and did some trouble shooting for us which ended up saving us money in the long-term. Communication was smooth and the work completed on our wall/installing a radiator was efficient and at a high standard. Would not hesitate to recommend or use Thermatek Ltd again!

Ryan did a gas safety check and service for our boiler & gas fire, including replacing some parts. Everything from communication, standard of work, prices to availability of appointments and timeliness was excellent. Thanks.

We recently had the pleasure of working with thermatek plumbing and heating. Ryan arrived promptly to install an outside hot water tap for us. When Ryan arrived, he talked us through the best options for fitting the tap, then carried out the work quickly and efficiently. Before leaving he made sure to test everything and talked us through what he had done. Really impressed with Ryan and thermatek, highly recommend and will use again in the future.

Excellent service from Ryan. Fitted new Tado heating controller system, rebuilt bathroom sink fittings, new mains water switch and went above and beyond to fix a couple of other niggling problems. Happy to recommend.
