Air Source Heat Pumps for Domestic use
Air source heat pumps have suffered some bad press in the past, due to low quality machines which were released onto the market before being fully tested. As Revolution Power focus on quality we have opted only ever to install high quality air source heat pumps, from branded manufacturers, who have test data across the whole operating range and have not been swayed by low cost heat pumps.
As with most technological advances, and heat pumps are no exception, they only work if you calculate the heat loss from the building correctly. Taking a whole house approach to the system design because if you get it wrong at the design stage then it may never satisfy the heat demand when you need it most, in the depths of winter.

Helmersdale Farm
We were contacted in September 2007 and our clients were interested in renewables for a new bungalow they were building on their farm.
After a site visit it was found to be most cost effective to install an Air Source Heat Pump, and complement the system with a Solar Thermal Solution, for all their hot water and under floor heating requirements.
The Air Source Heat Pump works in a similar manner to a Ground Source, but takes the heat from the outside air.
Ingleton, Barnard Castle, Co Durham
We were contacted in June 2008 and our clients were interested in reducing their heating bills and going green for an existing house in Ingleton.
After a site visit it was found to be most cost effective to install an Air Source Heat Pump, and complement the system with a Solar Thermal Solution, for all their hot water and heating requirements.
For this installation we were confined to a small airing cupboard to house the domestic hot water cylinder so we had one specially made for the job!
