Heat Pumps Leeds Installation
An efficient renewable solution
HiPro Heating's heat pump system, combined with Nu-Heat, creates a sustainable and inexpensive house, resulting in decreased fuel bills* and reduced environmental impact by eliminating the use of fossil fuels.
Our NIBE ground source and air source heat pumps available for installations in Leeds are efficient renewable heat sources that transfer substantially more energy into a home as heat than they absorb from the ground or air.
Nu-Heat's heat pump systems are intended to be the primary heat source in a home, delivering ample warmth and hot water without the need for a backup boiler.
*Compared to the high cost of fossil fuels (excluding mains petrol) and volatile oil prices.
A heat pump accumulates heat energy from the air or ground, even when it is freezing outside, and uses it to heat your home.
A well-designed heat pump system transmits three to four times as much energy into a property as it extracts. As a result, heat pumps are extremely efficient and have the potential to drastically reduce fuel costs, especially in homes without access to mains gas.

Versatility and Comfort
Lower Carbon Emissions
Types of heat pumps available to UK, Leeds Homeowners
Heat pumps are classified into two types: air-source and ground-source.
The most popular alternative is air-source heat pumps, which require little space and are less expensive to install.
Ground-source heat pumps require a lot of land.
In general, larger locations are more suitable.
How a Heat Pump Differs from a Boiler: An In-Depth Comparison
Heating systems have become a necessity in the modern comfort of our homes. Common means of heating installed in many homemakers include boilers and heat pumps. The differentiation of these two systems will help homeowners understand which one ideally fits their needs.
The Traditional Boiler
Boilers are combustion appliances that run from fuels like gas or oil to supply both heating and hot water. The systems are known for their capability of quick, high energy heat. This is achieved through the burning of fuel in the system, by which it produces a great amount of energy in just a very short time. However, this also causes higher carbon emissions.
The Modern Heat Pump
In contrast, heat pumps are powered by electricity, and therefore contribute much less to global warming. In fact, it is estimated that they have 65% fewer carbon emissions than gas boilers. The performance of heat pumps is best at low temperatures. Keeping the water temperatures as low as possible, along with minimizing heat losses in the property and the correct choice of heat emitters, will ensure the heat pump system runs within its optimal range.
Efficiency and Performance
Probably the most important benefit of heat pumps is just how efficient they could be. With proper installation, a well designed heat pump attains an efficiency of up to 400 %, also called Coefficient of Performance, or COP of 4. Quite simply, this implies for every kW hour electricity used in driving the heat pump, it can produce up to four kW hours of heat energy for space heating and hot water.
Comparatively, modern boilers have an efficiency of about 90% or 0.9 COP. Therein lays the huge difference between heat pumps and traditional boilers in terms of energy efficiency.
Cost Effectiveness
Not only are they more efficient, but heat pumps can also have lower running costs in the long term. Running costs for an efficient low-temperature system are actually low. For instance, 15 penceworthy of electricity with a heat pump will provide 60 pence-worthy of heat energy. This efficiency of running reflects in energy bills over some time.
Conclusion
While boilers do provide quick, high-energy heat and are very prevalent in common use, heat pumps bring about a much more sustainable solution with higher efficiency and lower carbon emissions. Therefore, if one seeks a greener way of life and a reduction in energy costs, heat pumps can turn out to be a better choice to cover all the needs for heating and hot water.
