The number of air source heat pumps being installed is increasing and as we move towards achieving net zero, these figures are only going to increase. This renewable, low carbon technology presents installers with new opportunities to develop their businesses so in this blog, we are going address some of the misconceptions that heating engineers may have about air source heat pumps.
Air source heat pump installations which achieve MCS certification will not only comply with the high standards set by this organisation but they can also be eligible for government funding, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Installers looking to install MCS certified heat pump systems can do so either by becoming MCS accredited themselves or by partnering with MCS certification umbrella schemes. Here, we explain these pathways in more detail and explain how Grant UK can support installers with achieving MCS accreditation for their heat pump installations.
The Grant Aerona³ air source heat pump range uses R32 refrigerant which is more environmentally friendly compared to refrigerants such as R410a although not as ecofriendly as R290 refrigerant. To help Grant heat pump installers further their understanding of R32 refrigerant, John Morris, one of Grant UK’s Regional Sales Managers, explains in this blog what R32 refrigerant is and some of the benefits that it can deliver.
