Welcome To Your Heating And Hot
Water System
What Is An Air Source Heat Pump
Boiler?
Issue 2: February 2009
CONTENTS
The hot water and central heating in your
home is provided by a high specifi cation
storage system coupled to a highly effi cient
air source heat pump boiler located
outside your property. It should give you
many benefits which will be explained
in this booklet. It is simple to operate,
exceptionally efficient and is probably
different to water heating systems that you
have had previously.
You may not have seen an air source heat
pump before, as they are relatively new in
the UK market. However, they have been
fi tted in very large numbers in Europe and
so the technology is well proven.
Your air source heat pump will be outside
of your property.
Your air source heat pump uses small
amounts of electricity to work and functions
by taking in large quantities of air and
extracting the heat from it. For this reason,
your heat pump is using a renewable
energy source and is exceptionally effi cient
because, on average, it uses 1kW of electrical
energy and converts it into over 3kW of
heating energy output.
This unique combination of the Mitsubishi
Ecodan air source heat pump boiler and
Gledhill BoilerMate will provide a carbon
saving of up to 40% compared to a gas
condensing boiler. As such, it represents
the very latest technology to reduce
global warming by minimising the energy
consumption used in your home for
heating and hot water.
