Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are a cost-effective and ultra-efficient way to replace or enhance your existing heating system. With additional sustainable options, such as PV panels, the savings both financially and environmentally are increased. What makes a heat pump so efficient is that the output of heat produced is more than the input of electricity used.

Heat pumps - from Samsung, Daikin and Mitsubishi
We work with a number of the most well-known manufacturers of heat pumps. These particular units are the outdoor units, which you often see on the side of buildings. These are often air-to-air or air-to-water.
Depending on your requirements, there are a number of options available. Tidyco's Climate team are here to guide and advise.

Diagram of how a heat pump works:
- Air is drawn in from outside via a fan and passed through a heat exchanger. The heat from the air relative to the refrigerant running through it is higher and therefore heats the liquid past its boiling point so that it becomes a gas.
- The gas is then passed through a compressor. This increases the pressure and causes a rise in temperature.
- The heated refrigerant gas is then passed through another heat exchanger, where the heat is transferred to either air which is pumped straight into a building or the central heating system and / or hot water system.
- As the refrigerant loses its heat, it condenses and returns to a liquid state. As it does, it moves round the system to initial heat exchanger to begin the process again.
