As another year draws to a close it seems installers are embracing the heat pump option. A new study by Samsung has revealed that 78% of heating industry professionals said demand for heat pumps had increased in the last five years, with seven out of ten professionals now seeing heat pumps as a more viable solution versus a few years ago.

Partly driven by events on the world stage, 79% of heating industry professionals say global issues were driving demand for technologies like heat pumps. This attitudinal shift is driving an even greater need for training, education and awareness about the ways heat pumps can help the UK deliver on its ambition to decarbonise homes and cut emissions by 2035.

HIGH TEMPERATURE, LOW NOISE

In October Samsung announced the UK launch of its most advanced air source heat pump to date, the EHS Mono HT Quiet.

With so many homes in the UK using radiators which require hot water temperatures of 65°C or more to heat
rooms effectively, Samsung has noticed a perception that heat pumps won’t suffice.

The EHS Mono HT Quiet can consistently provide hot water of up to 70°C for domestic heating purposes, it said. The dark grey heat pump also has a Quiet Mark certification thanks to its double-layered sound insulation system, operating at noise levels as low as 35 d(BA). The EHS Mono HT Quiet has a SCOP* of A+++ energy and is now available in three capacities (8, 12, and 14KW), including both the single and three-phase power supply system.
