What do you get with a MasterTherm heat pump?
The benefits of a MasterTherm heat pump
1. Protection against rising energy prices
With a heat pump you will be more independent of energy price changes. There is no doubt that energy and fuel costs will rise at a similar pace in the future as in recent years due to the addition of carbon taxes and increased levels of the tax into the future. These increases will be only marginally affected by the operation of the heat pump. Most of the energy will be drawn from the environment for free from ground, water or air as a source.
2. Economic heating of the building
In many cases, a heat pump system can save up to an incredible 80% of energy costs. With its low operating costs, the heat pump brings the user or building owner great savings and thus ensures a quick return on investment.
3. Lowest rates of electricity
All our systems are LRT signal enabled. The Smart grid will soon be enabled in Ireland. You will then be able to operate your heat pump on the lowest tariffs available throughout the day. This brings further savings associated with the system operation.
4. Short payback period
Even without any subsidies and financial support, the investment in the heat pump will pay for itself. In some cases system pays for itself within a few years. You can find more information on how much the heat pump will save in ‘Examples of savings with a heat pump’.
5. Financial Support
Most homeowners can benefit from grant payments available through the SEAI Heat Pumps Grant Incentive (terms and conditions apply www.seai.ie).
We can also arrange finance and spread the capital cost. Your energy savings can then simply pay for your loan allowing the system to pay for itself.
6. Environmental Impact
Low energy consumption minimises the burden on the environment. Most energy for heating, cooling or hot water using a MasterTherm heat pump is obtained directly from our surroundings without any negative impact on nature. Compared to conventional heating methods, heat pumps significantly reduce the emission of solid particles (fly ash, dust) and carbon-containing gases (especially CO2) into our atmosphere.
7. Comfort
Modern technology and control system provides all heat pump customers with a smart interface which ensures thermal comfort in the building yet achieving maximum efficiency. You can control the heat pump online using your smartphone app. Our technicians ensure optimal background settings to meet your heating and domestic hot water requirements.
8. Bonus air conditioning/cooling
Many people in Ireland believe that cooling is rarely required in our climate conditions. However, with new build houses being extensively insulated, windows double and triple glazed, cooling in new build houses has become a necessity in summer months. All MasterTherm heat pumps can be used for cooling.
Surprisingly for many clients and thanks to our advanced control system cooling can be delivered via UFH without causing any issues such as floor condensation etc. In addition, with the use of Desuperheater, domestic hot water is produced even in cooling mode.
9. Year-round use
Whether you use a heat pump in the summer for cooling or not, it will in any case, provide you with very efficient domestic hot water heating or inexpensive heating for properties with swimming pools or large hot water requirements, even outside the usual heating season. MasterTherm heat pumps can also control and manage other energy sources such as solar panels, stoves, PV etc. In such a system, the control uses solar energy and switches the heat pump compressor only, in the event of insufficient solar thermal output or increases in the room or hot water requested temperature in case of electricity surplus.
