Air source heat pumps from Danfoss Heat Pumps for new Charles Church development(05/12/2008)
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient means of generating energy. For every single unit of electricity used to drive the heat pump at least four units of heat are generated, which equates to around 400 per cent efficiency.

They are effective all year round, day and night by extracting low grade heat from the air, ground or water source and transferring it through a mix of water a... [more]
