 Heat
your home for Less
Just
because it's below zero outside, does not mean that there is no
energy available. It is possible to heat your home quite comfortably
with this temperature and even more viable to heat with the underground
temperature of approximately 10 degrees Celsius. Up to 80% can be
saved off the price of your heating bills.
A Heat pump operates similar to a fridge, as everyone knows fridges
are very reliable, require little or no maintenance and have a life
of over 20 years. Heat pumps are the same, They operate to cool
the outside environment, heat source or earth, the heat removed
and the energy used in the process is transferred into the building
as heat. Heat pumps work best with a high level of insulation and
a low temperature heating system. However it will also operate with
radiators which have been oversized by at least 30%. Although Heat
pumps use electricity one of the most expensive fuels, they can
be up to 600% efficient and configured to operate on night rate
electricity providing heating for as low as 1.6 cent per KWH compared
to 4 cent for natural gas and 7 cent for oil.
Our heat pumps are designed in-house especially for Ireland; they
employ the best equipment by Copeland
and Emerson, they have CE and ISO certification, they hold a
two year warranty and are government
grant approved. They are also the most economical & environmentally
friendly product as they operate on a 20 amp supply & employ
the non ozone depleting refrigerant R417a
We
have determined that the running
cost of our heat pumps can be as low as 17 cent per hour this
includes the power consumed by all pumps.

How Our Heat Pump Works
Heat Pumps explained. |
Water
to Water (Well) Heat Pumps are specifically designed & licensed
by Enviritech for the northern European market. 
These
units utilize the heat in the outside air and
can operate in temperatures below –15°C. Their
efficiency is lower than that of the Water to
water as more power is consumed moving the air
and raising the temperature through a greater
temperature difference. Also a factor which is
not considered in the efficiency calculation is
the energy required for defrost. In Ireland we
have a damp, humid climate. Therefore the air
contains a lot of moisture giving rise to a lot
of ice forming on the evaporator. Unbelieveably,
this is not a problem in much colder countries
where the air temperature is sub-zero as no moisture
is contained in the air. Even though their ambient
temperature is lower their heat pumps often operate
more efficiently.
