Viessmann Vitocal heat pumps

Thanks to the highly efficient design Vitocal heat pumps generate heat even when the temperature outside is as low as -15°C. 

What's less known is that as well as providing heat during the colder months, air source heat pumps can serve as cooling systems during the summer, too!

With a Viessmann air source heat pump, you’ll boast a versatile solution that allows you to enjoy comfort at home throughout the year, not just in winter.

How heat pumps work

Heat pumps are an efficient and environmentally friendly heating solution, gaining popularity across the UK due to their potential to lower energy costs and reduce carbon emissions. Here's how they work:

Heat pumps operate on the principle of transferring heat from one place to another, rather than generating heat directly. This makes them highly efficient, as they use less energy than traditional heating systems that burn fuel to create warmth.

Types of Heat Pumps sold by Viessmann in the UK

There are two types of heat pumps sold by Viessmann in the UK:

1. Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs). These extract heat from the outside air, even in cold weather, and use it to heat the home through radiators or underfloor heating systems.
2. Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs): These extract heat from the ground using a network of water-filled pipes buried underground. The stable underground temperature is a reliable source of heat throughout the year.

How heat pumps work

A heat pump system consists of an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser. The evaporator absorbs heat from the air, ground, or water outside the home. This heat is transferred to a refrigerant, which is then compressed to increase its temperature. Finally, the heated refrigerant is passed through the condenser, releasing the heat into the building's heating system. 

Home Owner Benefits

Heat pumps are known for their efficiency, often delivering about three times more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume. This translates into lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, with the UK government's push towards reducing reliance on fossil fuels, heat pumps offer a sustainable alternative to traditional heating systems, with various incentives available for homeowners to make the transition.

This technology not only provides a more sustainable way to heat homes but also aligns with the UK's environmental goals, making it an excellent choice for forward-thinking homeowners.
