If you’re an installer looking to learn more about heat pumps, you’re not alone. While heat pumps are not new technology, the recent energy price hikes and increase in popularity for home installations have raised concerns about their real-world running costs. Fortunately, there’s an accurate way to find out the overall efficiency of heat pumps - COP and SCOP. In its simplest terms, the Coefficient of Performance (COP) is a measure of the efficiency of a heating (or cooling) system at that moment in time. It is the ratio of useful heat movement per work input, or in other words, the ratio of the energy output of the heat pump to the electrical input it requires to run. A heat pump’s COP typically ranges between 2.0 and 5.0 for air source heat pumps, and can be even higher for ground source heat pumps. This means that for every one unit of energy the heat pump uses (like electricity, for instance), it can produce between 2 to 5 units of heat or cooling, depending on the specific model and environmental conditions. It’s important to note that COP varies with outside temperature for air source heat pumps. When it’s very cold outside, the COP can be lower because the heat pump has to work harder to extract heat from the outside air. While the COP provides a snapshot of a heat pump’s efficiency at a given moment, the Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) offers a broader view of the heat pump’s efficiency over an entire heating season. This is also sometimes called SPF or Seasonal Performance Factor. The SCOP is the ratio of the total amount of heat delivered divided by the total amount of energy consumed over the same period. This measure takes into account the variations in temperature over the season and provides a more realistic and comprehensive measure of a heat pump’s annual energy efficiency. Ebac Air Source Heat Pumps have a high Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of 4.91. This means that they are amongst the most efficient heat pumps on the market, helping save on energy bills. By understanding the COP and SCOP of a heat pump, you can make informed decisions about the most suitable system for your needs. At GB Heat Pumps, we’re committed to providing you with the most efficient and cost-effective heating solutions.

Why Carrier's Heat Pump Pivot is Just the Beginning of the HVAC Revolution 🔥 Carrier's heat pump pivot isn't just a smart business move - it's a harbinger of the HVAC revolution to come. A massive market opportunity: 1. Sell the sizzle, not just the steak 🥩 Heat pumps may be marvels of thermodynamic engineering, but most customers don't care about COP ratios or refrigerant cycles. What they care about is comfort, cost savings, and environmental impact. Businesses need to lead with the benefits, not the specs. Paint a picture of a home that's toasty in the winter, cool in the summer, and powered by clean energy—all while putting money back in the customer's pocket. 2. Make it a no-brainer 🧠 The upfront cost of heat pumps can be a tough pill to swallow, even with generous incentives. That's where creative business models come in. Imagine a "Heat Pump as a Service" offering that bundles hardware, installation, maintenance, and financing into a simple monthly subscription. The key is to make the decision to switch as easy and attractive as possible. 3. Think beyond the box 📦 Heat pumps are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the future of HVAC. From smart thermostats and zoned systems to air purification and energy storage, there's a whole ecosystem of products and services that can be layered on top of the core heat pump offering. Businesses that can provide an integrated, whole-home solution will have a major advantage over those selling one-off units. Of course, challenges remain. Supply chain constraints, labor shortages, and inconsistent policies all threaten to put a chill on the heat pump boom. And let's not forget the elephant in the room: the entrenched interests of the fossil fuel industry, which has a vested interest in keeping us hooked on gas and oil. But for companies that can navigate these obstacles and stay ahead of the curve, the rewards are massive. The global heat pump market is projected to reach $140 billion by 2028, with double-digit annual growth rates. And that's just the beginning. As the world wakes up to the urgent need to decarbonize, the demand for clean, efficient heating and cooling solutions will only accelerate. Embrace the heat pump revolution and position your business as a leader in the clean energy transition. The future may be uncertain, but one thing is clear: it's going to be a hot one. 🌡️💰🌍 #HeatPumpRevolution #CleanEnergyBusiness #FutureOfHVAC #SustainableComfort https://lnkd.in/gdX_hGKV

Challenges in Meeting GSAS Shading Coefficient This is a complex issue for a building project because, although minimizing solar heat gain to reduce cooling energy seems to be straightforward, there are numerous implications for lighting and energy use. While the use of air-conditioning and artificial lighting are assumed to maintain the same user comfort level, increased daylight is expected to cause an increase in lighting levels and thus increase electric lighting energy use. This contributes to less solar heat gain, as the lights are turned off less often. A high Shading Coefficient also assists winter heating by providing solar heat gains, and the GSAS calculations assume that solar gains always result in electrical energy savings for heating. This is not necessarily a bad thing for a country like Qatar with a predominantly cooling-dominated climate, and from a total energy (primary fuel) perspective, maximizing solar gains may actually be more beneficial due to the increased efficiency of solar gains for thermal energy compared to burning more electricity. The GSAS calculations do not currently differentiate between the source of energy being used. The dependent variables in the lighting system are the electric lighting power density and the use of lighting controls to save energy. The Shading Coefficient is the only independent variable. Daylight sensors are not included as an independent variable in GSAS energy calculations; they are only assisting control devices for electric lighting. Therefore, it is assumed that the electric lighting system is always in the on position. This is a significant limitation for the GSAS calculation, as the automatic controls for turning off electric lighting in the presence of daylight or at certain illuminance levels can save a considerable amount of energy. **** Factors Affecting Shading Coefficient The solar heat gain is the gain of heat from the sun. The lower the shading coefficient, the lower the amount of solar gain. The six main factors include window area, solar heat gain coefficient, orientation, overhang, fin, and types of window. Window area has a direct relationship with the amount of solar heat gain. Shading coefficient and heat gain will be higher with big window area. Solar heat gain coefficient is the measurement of how much solar radiation makes its way through the window. Windows with a high solar heat gain coefficient will allow more solar radiation through. This is particularly undesirable in Qatar, as this will increase air conditioning energy consumption. Orientation affects the solar heat gain during the early morning and late afternoon. North and south-facing windows will receive sun all day. East and west-facing windows receive more complex shading from the sun but can receive higher solar heat gain as the sun rays are more direct. High external shading coefficient will reduce the solar heat gain from direct sun and has the same effect as with low solar heat gain windows.

Thermal stores have been an effective and highly efficient hot water solution in the UK for almost 40 years. However, it is no surprise that many installers decide not to use thermal stores and just to go with a straight replacement of what is there or simply revert back to an unvented cylinder alternative. Their popularity is on the rise however, particularly in apartment applications, as they overcome many of the frustrations both installers and landlords have with unvented cylinders, including the hidden costs of installation via the difficult G3 requirements, and ongoing maintenance. Thermal stores turn the traditional cylinder approach on its head! Instead of storing hot water in the cylinder under pressure, which is then used for taps and showers when required, the thermal store acts more like a battery storing the energy from any fuel source when it is cost effective, and then providing hot water and heating when it is needed in an inherently safe vented store. The mains pressure hot water is generated by passing the mains pressure cold water through the highly efficient internal coil, and the heating by sending the stored water around underfloor or radiator system. So, why are many installers and end users looking at utilising thermal stores to simplify the installation process and improve the finished solution with a fit and forget hot water thermal store? Sometimes it is out of necessity, for example in projects where commercial properties are being converted into private apartments and is almost impossible to install the discharge pipework to comply with G3 of the building regulations necessary for unvented solutions. Other times, it’s because it is just the best solution for the project, such as when incorporating renewable or multiple energy inputs or the cylinder needs to be located in a specific part of the home where the space available cannot accommodate the ‘standard’ size offering. Then for the smart landlords, the benefit of a legionella free, and scald protected system, making life easier in years to come. Having a fit and forget solution with reduced installation complexity requiring no costly annual maintenance. With the emphasis on reducing carbon, and the introduction of low-cost flexible electricity tariffs which utilise the energy as it is generated, for storage, when demand is low, or even from suppliers of the traditional off-peak supplies. Thermal stores are utilising the electricity not just as a backup, but as an important heat source to enable the load shifting of energy demand. This provides a fantastic opportunity in apartments as electrification is required, enabling the costs to be competitive with that of a traditional gas system.

As countries move towards net zero at varied pace and time scales, energy security is coming increasingly to the fore. It is not just a case of turn off the oil and gas and turn on the electricity (of which there is no excess capacity). Companies as well as individual households count in this process and cannot just turn off, buy a new appliance and carry on. This is one reason why the Liquid Gas Industry is looking at drop-in fuels as replacements for propane. However, with the required capacity of renewable energy infrastructure not in place, there is still the issue of Natural Gas burning installations within industry where the supply shortages will begin to affect production. Our reliance on natural gas is immense and, in many cases, an uninterruptible service is essential and a lifeline. Ensure back-up systems are in place for periods when supplies drop. A natural gas burner requires natural gas, using LPG in a Natural Gas appliances causes poor flame quality and incomplete combustion creating carbon monoxide. ITO offers the PA System which generates Synthetic Natural Gas by blending propane and air. It provides a solution matched to the local gas supply and keeps the burners burning. Key points: •             Requires no external power source such as electricity. •             Generates SNG using Propane & Air pressure. •             Very portable, small & light easily transportable. •             All units self-contained with weatherproof covers and wheels. •             No need to change nozzles or jets in appliance (or appliances). •             Provides stable calorific value without adjustment. •             Safety devices ensure total security. •             Feeder gas Propane – easily obtainable. •             Can supply SNG anywhere, town, city, countryside, mountains…. •             Protects customers supplies whether domestic or industrial.   British Gas and Ofgem at one point in winter 2023 warned that we had just 9 days of gas left, many other countries faired a little better but with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine the coming winter may be similar. The company (BG) issued the warning, saying it may not have enough gas to meet demand due to the current cold snap gripping the UK. Household supplies should not be affected, but the Grid is attempting to meet demand by limiting industrial use. Industrial consumers of Gas lose production, time and of course profit when they have their supplies limited or even stopped.   There are not many solutions available to the networks this is unique, creates no additional carbon footprint, is totally flexible and safe and offers supply security.

Hello fellow Network, 👋 A few weeks back on a rare bright & sunny day I took a picture of my energy consumption reader as FINALLY it was below the typical £15PD.😒 This got me thinking about what new renewable energy products are out there atm to heat our homes (shout out to alot of our clients who manufacture or sell a lot of these) which can help us after the sun has gone and we are back to BAU… miserable, wet and cold while paying a fortune. So hope this helps…(sorry if i am being super obvious with some of this but don’t want to make assumptions we all know about what they do) Heat Pumps: A heat pump extracts heat energy from either the air (air source heat pump/ASHP) or the ground (ground source heat pump/GSHP) by raising the temperature and moving the heat into your home. It can be easy to install, cost effective and although it uses electricity, it produces more heat energy than it uses electrical energy, but you need to make sure your home is well insulated which may be harder to achieve in some older/larger buildings. Solar PV Diverters: If you have solar panels installed, you can send surplus energy via a PV diverter switch to power your hot water tank’s immersion heater, which will store hot water for use.  The excess solar is not likely to meet all your needs for hot water but can help reduce your energy bills. Solar Thermal/Solar Water Heating: A bit like solar panels, use energy from the sun to warm water. You can then store it in a hot water cylinder.  This won’t provide all your water needs throughout the year but is generally used alongside a conventional boiler. Hydrogen Boiler Hydrogen boilers burn hydrogen to produce hot water for central heating systems and hot water use.  It works by using a mixture of 80% natural gas and 20% hydrogen.  In 2029 the government will introduce a 20% hydrogen blend into the UK’s main supply.  Nearly all gas appliances used today are ready for hydrogen so may be a cheaper option to save carbon emissions and reduce energy bills than other systems. Underfloor Heating Underfloor Heating works by running a system of pipes or wires underneath the floor of a room. There are 2 types – wet underfloor heating or electric underfloor heating.  Heated water can either be generated by a boiler or a heat pump. Electric underfloor heating is normally used in bathrooms or shower rooms for occasional use. Hope that helps and if you want any referrals to good companies who are selling these, reach out. #renewables #renewableenergy #solar #heatpumps #netzero
