Heat pumps · Whalley, Clitheroe & the Ribble Valley
Heat pumps draw energy from outside air or the ground. Suitability depends on the property, heat loss, emitters, hot water, space and electrical supply, so Calder Services begins with the whole home.
Heat pumps explained
A useful discussion considers how the system would work in this particular property.
A room-by-room heat-loss calculation estimates how much heat the property needs on a cold day. Insulation, glazing and draughts affect that demand and therefore the heat-pump output, flow temperature and likely running pattern.
Heat pumps usually operate at lower water temperatures than traditional boilers, so radiator or underfloor-heating output must be checked. Domestic hot-water storage, cylinder size and household demand also form part of the design.
An air-source heat pump needs suitable airflow, drainage, service access and a location that considers noise. Cable routes, controls and the capacity of the home’s electrical installation must be assessed with the heating design.
