Carbon Emissions

Carbon emissions are an ever-increasing concern and in the one year  the UK alone produces 40 million tonnes of carbon, 27% of which is generated within homes in the form of space heating and the delivery of hot water. The HeatKing air source heat pumps have low carbon emissions and can save in excess of five tonnes of carbon per year. Compared with other forms of heating the units produce 50% less carbon than a modern gas boiler and 70% less carbon than an all-electric system (taking into account the inefficiency of power stations and losses in the delivery of electricity).

The HeatKing Air Source Heat Pumps address the issue of carbon emissions head on, utilising renewable energy to provide heat for domestic space heating and hot water. By extracting energy from the air around us the BWarm domestic heat pump is able to achieve a COP of up to 5 (COP is coefficient of performance - the ratio of energy output to energy input). As a result these units provide effective heating with low carbon emissions.

“By using energy more efficiently we can help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reducing the rate of climate change and the damage to the environment.”

“Climate change is the greatest environmental threat the world faces today. It is caused by emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a by-product of our use of energy, and therefore by cutting energy consumption we automatically reduce total CO2 emissions.
