Air and ground source heat pumps (ASHPs and GSHPs) are innovative renewable heating technologies that offer efficient and sustainable alternatives to traditional heating systems. UPA Energy provides comprehensive support for the implementation of ASHPs and GSHPs. We help you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and minimise your environmental footprint while lowering energy costs and enhancing building comfort.

ASHPs and GSHPs work by transferring heat from the ambient air or ground into buildings to provide heating, hot water, and sometimes cooling depending on the particular requirements. They operate on the principle of heat exchange, using refrigerant cycles to extract heat from the outdoor environment and then deliver it indoors at higher temperatures.

ASHPs and GSHPs are highly energy efficient, achieving coefficient of performance (COP) values of up to 4 or 5. This means that they can produce up to four or five units of heat energy for every unit of electricity that they consume. This translates into significant energy savings when compared to conventional heating systems. They can be particularly useful in well-insulated buildings that have low heat demands.

Heat pumps provide flexibility when it comes to installation and can be installed in both new and existing buildings. Requiring minimal space and infrastructure, they are particularly well-suited for urban environments where outdoor space may be limited. ASHPS and GHSPs can also be integrated with other renewable energy sources such as solar PV and wind turbines, to further reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity and to achieve greater energy independence.

UPA Energy provides end-to-end support for the deployment of ASHPs and GSHPs, from initial feasibility assessments and system design to installation and commissioning. Our expert team can evaluate site-specific conditions, energy requirements, and financial considerations to develop optimised heating solutions tailored to the needs of each client. Whether as stand-alone technologies or used as part of a broader on-site generation strategy, we enable you to unlock the full potential of the heat pumps to transition to a more sustainable, resilient and cost-effective energy future.
