Ideal Airtherm heat pumps provide an excellent efficiency performance of up to 400% (dependent on duty) compared to a SEDBUK A rated gas boiler, which will deliver around 90%.
The normal measure of efficiency is the coefficient of performance (COP) which usually varies between 2 and 4 dependent on external air temperatures, humidity and heating temperatures. The range is particularly suitable for well-insulated properties and those without a mains gas supply.
Heat pumps are recognised by the Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and show significant carbon emissions savings over other forms of space and water heating. With the target to reduce CO2 emissions by 50%, Ideal's Airtherm allows compliance with Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, when used in conjunction with notional energy saving methods such as improved thermal insulation.
Designed for external use, Ideal's Airtherm range offers an unobtrusive, simple and cost effective renewable energy solution for new build and retrofit installations alike. The Ideal Airtherm range is approved under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.
