Why choose a heat pump for your home?

• Heat pumps are an efficient way of heating a home using electricity, allowing for less negative environmental impacts.
• Heat pumps have low running costs when used correctly and when sized appropriately for the home.
• They can heat a room quietly and at a rapid pace.  
• Heat pumps circulate heat via the room, which means the filter removes dust, mold spores and other air pollutants whilst heating or cooling.

Why should you use Ecobob quoting service for a heat pump?

• Installing a heat pump is a large expense, therefore comparing prices is very important. Ecobob supplies you with 3 quotes from reputable companies, for free.
• Avoid under sizing or oversizing the heat pump. Incorrect sizing can cause heat pumps to become inefficient, which in turn will cost you more money to run the machine. 

Heat pump water heaters use the same technology as air-to-air heat pumps. Just like room heating heat pumps, they are more efficient than traditional electric or gas water heaters. They use ambient heat from the atmosphere, extracted by refrigerant gas and a compressor.

Depending on your location, you may need a different unit model. This is because different models have different temperatures at which they start to lose efficiency. Ecobobs trusted installer companies will be able to provide the best advice for brands and models.

Conventionally, heating a home will require warming the air in a specific room or the entire house either by fire place, electric heating/gas heating, or heat pumps etc. These technologies require either storage or pipe work and tend to rapidly burn through emissions, as well as ongoing maintenance costs. Infrared heat panels require a plug power source only, are easy to install, no fuel is burnt while running, and can be placed almost anywhere you require them, roof, wall, floor, even mirrors.

So, how do infrared heating panels actually work? They function by turning electricity into infrared energy, this energy is then directed at surfaces, such as walls and flooring, and thus these surfaces are heated, and rooms benefit from efficient heating that releases a slow and consistent heat.

Why upgrade to double or triple glazing?

Planning a new build (hopefully an eco home or green home) or upgrading your existing home then you will be considering the benefits of double or triple glazing if you don't already have it.

Modern materials and design offer a wide range of benefits, together with adding value to your property. Some of the reasons why double glazing is a great idea:

• Living in close proximity to your neighbours, road, airports, or other noise pollution? Double glazing is a great solution for noise insulation and will reduce the amount of outside noise that penetrates your home. 

• High quality modern frames are thermally broken (if aluminium) and will not allow condensation or cold briding. uPVC and timber are already great at preventing this.

• Double glazing eliminates or at the very least vastly reduces condensation. (We had to constantly mop our sills and trhough away our mould covered curtains before retroftting our timber windows - no signs of condentation to date!).

• Old, single glazing can weaken over time and when broken creates dangerous shards. Why wait for an accident? Upgrade to modern glazing to gain all its benefits.

• If you want a more energy-efficient home then double/triple glazing is the way forward. Reduce/prevent air escaping through old windows, letting the heat out and cold in. Create a more efficient heating system and more stable internal environment. Increased thermal insulation can save you a considerable amount on your energy bills over the course of a year.

• An absolute must for your new eco home project!
