HEAT PUMPS
Residential Air Source Heat Pumps
The average household generates 2,745 kg of CO2 emissions from heating, which means that overall housing contributes around 31% of the UK total emissions. To reach the UK’s Net Zero 2050 target we need to reduce heating emissions by 95%.
This level of reduction requires a substantial shift in heating technologies towards renewable energy. We cannot reduce carbon emissions from heating sufficiently if we continue to use natural gas or oil to heat our homes. Natural gas and inefficient electric heating in buildings can be phased out and replaced by a combination of; insulation, individual air source heat pumps and district heating. Use of excess heat, thermal storage and heat from renewable sources will further reduce both costs and carbon. Analysis shows that almost all of the heating and cooling demand can be covered using low carbon sources.
In all the scenarios and predictive models heat pumps have a major role to play as they are the most scalable solution that is available right now. Heat pumps offer; flexibility on input fuel prices, no on site emissions or air pollution, minimal or no infrastructure upgrade and highly integratable with other technologies.
Air Source Heat Pumps For Social Housing
Using social housing heat pumps grants tenants unlimited access to affordable heating throughout the year. Heat pumps offer social housing institutions the ability to dramatically reduce fuel poverty by reducing a household’s heating bills and ultimately relieving them of the ultimatum known as ‘heat or eat’.
The heating systems provided by Clade are also fully compliant with the Climate Emergency Declaration (CED) and will contribute greatly towards reducing the carbon footprint left by social housing across the United Kingdom.
Air Source Heat Pumps For Flats
Thanks to heat pumps for flats, tenants can afford to keep warm throughout the year without overspending on their energy bills.
Social housing organisations can now end fuel poverty, dramatically reduce a flat’s heating bills, and relieve tenants from the ‘heat or eat’ dilemma by simply installing heating pumps in the residence.
Clade Engineering’s heating pump systems can help deliver on the Climate Emergency Declarations by lowering the overall carbon footprint left by residential housing around the UK.
Air Source Heat Pumps For Swimming Pools
Compared to all other heating alternatives, ground-source heat pumps for swimming pools are the best heating solution for providing hot water for leisure, while dramatically reducing the energy consumption associated with heating up a hot tub or a swimming pool.
As most indoor swimming pools in the United Kingdom are used throughout the year, making use of an energy-efficient heating solution such as ground source heat pumps is an obvious choice.
Air Source Heat Pumps For Housing Developments
Heat pumps for housing developments are only a nice-to-have alternative to fossil fuels and gas for generating heat. That’s until 2025, when heat pumps will become a necessary alternative as the United Kingdom government starts working towards achieving its 100% carbon-neutral goal by 2050.
Heat pumps are not only safer and less polluting to the environment, but they will also enhance the salability of your properties, help you attain compliance easier, and reduce the overhead costs of building a property.
ABOUT US
Clade is the UKs leading manufacturer of natural refrigerant heat pumps. With significant R&D, field trials and a proven deployed portfolio of over 500 natural refrigerant appliances there are no other UK manufacturers that come close to our expertise and experience.
Operating on a national basis from our green manufacturing Technology Centre in Leeds and our Head Office in Bristol, which has achieved CEEQUAL status and the internationally recognised BREEAM Excellent standard, we design, manufacture, supply and maintain heat pumps and refrigeration around the world.
RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMPS FAQ
A residential heat pump draws heat from the air, ground or water and transfers it into your home to provide heating and hot water. Rather than generating heat by burning fuel, it moves existing heat using electricity, making it a more efficient alternative to traditional systems.
Home heating accounts for a significant share of UK carbon emissions, so reducing emissions from buildings is essential to meet the country’s Net Zero 2050 targets. Heat pumps are considered one of the most scalable low-carbon solutions available to replace gas and oil heating systems.
Heat pumps can be used across many residential settings, including houses, flats, housing developments and even swimming pools. They provide an efficient way to deliver heating and hot water while helping property owners reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Yes. Heat pumps are widely used in social housing because they can provide affordable, reliable heating for tenants while reducing fuel poverty. By lowering heating costs and emissions, they also help housing providers meet sustainability targets.
Heat pumps reduce emissions because they transfer heat rather than generating it through combustion. This means there are no on-site emissions from burning fossil fuels, and the system can run using renewable electricity sources.
Yes. Heat pumps are increasingly being installed in housing developments to replace fossil fuel heating systems. They can help developers meet environmental regulations, improve the sustainability of buildings, and reduce long-term energy costs for residents.
