Heat pumps in Durham
Heat pumps are an eco-friendly heating option that reduces carbon emissions and provides consistent warmth for radiators, underfloor heating, warm air systems, and hot water. If you’re considering installing a heat pump in Durham, our team are on hand to discuss your property’s needs and provide answers to any questions.
Heat Pump Suitability
Heat pumps are highly effective in well-insulated residential or commercial buildings of any age. There are three main types: air source, ground source, and water source heat pumps. The ideal choice for your Durham property depends on factors such as location, available land, and proximity to water sources. All three types are more efficient than traditional boilers, which typically run at 80-85% efficiency. By contrast, air source heat pumps can reach 320% efficiency, ground source 400%, and water source 450%.

Heat Pump Types
Our engineers design heat pump systems that are tailored to maximise the energy efficiency for each unique property. Air source heat pumps draw energy from the air, ground source systems capture it from the ground, and water source heat pumps take energy directly from water. The best residential heat pump option for your property will depend on factors such as available land, location, and water proximity. You’ll find further details on each type below.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air, similar to how a fridge extracts heat from its inside. There are two main types of ASHP: an air-to-water system distributes heat via your wet central heating system, while an air-to-air system produces warm air which is circulated by fans to heat your home.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps extract heat from the ground by circulating a mixture of water and antifreeze around a ground loop. Heat from the ground is absorbed into the fluid and then passes through a heat exchanger into the heat pump which then converts it into high-temperature heat.
Water Source Heat Pumps
Water source heat pumps are available in closed-loop and open-source variants. Closed-loop systems: pipes or coils filled with glycol are laid on the river/lake bed to absorb energy from the water. Open-source systems: water is pumped to a heat pump and the heat pump absorbs the energy directly from the water.
