The heat pump solution
However , for property owners embarking on extensions or major renovations or for new build projects , adding an Air Source Heat Pump to the specification at the initial planning stage is the simplest way for all parties . For retrospective fits and refurbishment projects , the installation doesn ’ t get any more complicated , it might just take some extra time .
The perfect fit for fenestration , and a safe bet for security installers
By now , it should be clear how Air Source Heat Pumps specification and installation can sit alongside fenestration companies ’ current portfolio of products and services . For safety and security specialists , the advantages can be just as beneficial .
For new developments , whether residential or commercial , Air Source Heat Pumps can be included in the ‘ bones of the building ’ and can be drawn into the plans just as doors , windows , glazing , roofing , even hardware choices are made . Just as the safety and security criteria of a building and its intended use are of utmost importance to the architect and specifier of a project , energy efficiency and eco responsibility is part and parcel of the plans now , and rightly so .
Subsequently , the costings of running a building long-term especially for commercial properties such as schools , hospitals , municipal buildings etc must be factored in . Likewise for residential properties , efficient and effective heating
that is also low cost and kind to the environment ticks every box for the savvy would-be resident or landlord .
For refurbishment and regeneration projects , one simple question of ‘ have you considered an Air Source Heat Pump ’ when quoting an extension , conservatory or garden room job is all it takes . The choice is then up to the fitter whether they wish to pass the lead onto an accredited and approved Air Source Heat Pump company or carry out the install themselves ( with adequate training of course ).
For larger corporations , affiliating yourself with an Air Source Heat Pump company not only adds extra revenue to a business ’ s order books , it ‘ nails your colours to the mast ’ for brands that assert opinions on sustainability and energy efficiency . For fenestration companies that spend a lot of time ( and money ) on the design and development of energy efficient doors , windows , hardware et al , an Air Source Heat Pump could be the cherry on top of a eco-friendly , ultra efficient home at a much lower cost to the planet and the bill payer .
