Minimize Heating Costs
At Ashgrove we design our heat pump systems to maximize the utilisation of cheaper night rate electricity. Night rate is 60% cheaper than day rate electricity. As unit of energy from a heat pump being operated by night is the cheapest form of heating energy available. It can be seen that the operating costs of your heat pump (whether horizontal or vertical ground sourced, or Air to Water) will be substantially lower if you run on night rate electricity. You will need to install a night-rate electricity meter to avail of this cheaper rate. A buffer store is required to maximise efficiency as this allows the heat pump to store heat on a constant basis, releasing it as and when required.
