How is the Energy Saver different from other similar products on the market?Other products have not been optimised for heating purposes. They will provide heating but won't be as efficient. This means that you will need more units than you need with the Energy Saver, possibly as many as one per room.Does it use any dangerous substances such as gas?No, it uses a refrigerant. The refrigerant used is R410-A. R-410A is an azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane which is used as a refrigerant in air conditioning applications. Unlike many haloalkane refrigerants it does not contribute to ozone depletion, and is therefore becoming more widely used as ozone-depleting refrigerants are phased out.What is inverter technology?Cheaper heat pumps from other manufacturers use a compressor that only has two states, on or off. The Energy Saver instead uses a compressor that varies its speed depending on the heating need, giving much higher efficiency, as well as a substantial reduction in energy consumption - often as much as 70%.I have heard of ground source heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps. Should I consider these?Ground source heat pumps are approximately 5-10 times more expensive to install compared to the Energy Saver, this means you will have a long pay back period. We recommend Ground source heat pumps only for very large houses, 400 m² (4,300 square foot) or more.Air-to-water heat pumps can be a good choice, especially for new built houses. The unit will remove the need for a separate hot water boiler. These units also work well with under floor heating. However this type of unit is 3-5 times more expensive than the Energy Saver. Thus, we only recommend this type of unit for new buildings. Please also see our Comparison of Heating alternatives for further information. What is COP (Coefficient Of Performance)?The coefficient of performance (COP) is a measure of a heat pump's efficiency. It has become common industry practice to use the term COP when expressing efficiency for heat pumps. It is determined by dividing the energy output of the heat pump by the electrical energy needed to run the heat pump, at a specific temperature, typically at 7 degrees C. The higher the COP, the more efficient the heat pump. The Energy Saver delivers a class leading COP of 4.2.Contact: info@eheatgroup.com, 07766 714496 | ||
