3 Unique Characteristics Of Air Source Pump Heaters For Underfloor Heating

Introduction

There are an infinite number of ways to heat your home. When people first starting heating their homes they used primitive methods such as fire and wood. As technology advanced we started to use things like pellet stoves and propane. Some people even used kerosene to heat their homes. However, in recent decades this has shifted towards the use of central heating through traditional convection units. This advancement in technology was huge and soon replaced the more primitive methods. Now there is a new change of the guard that is leading to the replacement of these convection units. Air source heat pumps are the new way to heat your home or business. They are considerably more efficient and effective than convection units. Due to the immense amount of unique characteristics of these new heat pumps, they are quickly taking over the industry and replacing older heating methods. Below is a list of three unique characteristics of air source heat pumps as it pertains to underfloor heating.

Unique Characteristics of Air Source Pump Heaters

  • They Capture Heat From Outside Air Rather Than Heating It
  • They Emit A Constant Flow Of Heat At A Lower Rate
  • You Can Get Paid To Use An Air Source Heat Pump

They Capture Heat From Outside Air Rather Than Heating IT

All other forms of heating produce heat through the use of electricity. They use electricity to heat up a heating element. This heating element gives off heat which produces hot air. This hot air is then pumped through the house. Air source heat pumps do not generate heat at all. They capture heat from the outside air and circulate that captured heat throughout your home.

They Emit A Constant Flow Of Heat At A Lower Rate

Typical heating units cause a ton of fluctuation in temperatures inside the home. This is because they emit a big burst of heat and then wait until the temperature cools down before emitting another burst of heat. Air source heat pumps emit a constant low rate of heat to ensure that temperatures stay relatively constant.

You Can Get Paid To Use An Air Source Heat Pump

There are a plethora of government programs that will pay people to use air source heat pumps for underfloor heating. This is because air source heat pumps use renewable energy. Renewable energy does not cause carbon emissions and is thus better for the environment.
