EXHAUST AIR HEAT PUMPS
What is an Exhaust heat pump?
Exhaust air is an innovative technology that removes the barriers associated with air and ground source heat pumps.
That's right, there is no outdoor unit required. No ground works and no outside heat pump. NIBE's first heat pump was an exhaust air heat pump and they have just released their most powerful exhaust air heat pump to date.
The exhaust air heat pump uses otherwise wasted heat in the warm air areas of your home (bathrooms, kitchen, utility..) and transfers that heat to hot water using the same principles as air source and ground source heat pumps.

How much does it cost?
These systems are very cost effective when taking into account no gas supplies will be needed for the property.
Code For Sustainable Homes renewable energy requirements are covered, Building Regulations ventilation requirements are met, and of course the lower running costs and comfort of the system will increase the value and saleability of the home itself. In Local Authority developments, fuel poverty regulations are also met with these exhaust air heat pump systems.

How it functions
Benefits of Exhaust Air Heat Pumps
-
Energy Efficiency: Exhaust air heat pumps utilize waste heat from ventilation systems, making them highly efficient in heating applications.
-
No Outdoor Unit: Unlike traditional air and ground source heat pumps, exhaust air heat pumps do not require an outdoor unit, simplifying installation and reducing space requirements.
-
Cost Savings: By harnessing waste heat from ventilation systems, exhaust air heat pumps can lead to significant energy cost savings over time.
-
Reduced Environmental Impact: By utilizing waste heat, exhaust air heat pumps contribute to reducing overall energy consumption and carbon emissions, making them more environmentally friendly.
-
Versatility: Exhaust air heat pumps can be installed in a variety of building types, making them suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
-
Year-Round Comfort: Exhaust air heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling capabilities, ensuring comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year.
-
Quiet Operation: Compared to some traditional HVAC systems, exhaust air heat pumps often operate quietly, enhancing indoor comfort without causing noise disturbances.
