DOMESTIC AIR CONDITIONING
Turning up the heat
Andrew Faulkner, commercial manager at Samsung Climate Solutions shares the secret for success with heating the home and saving energy in the most efficient way.

hroughout the winter months, as temperatures plummet and existing boilers fault or fail, it’s an easy decision to replace like with like, but as we enter 2020 it’s time to take a look at energy (and carbon) efficient ways to heat your customer’s homes. 80% of the homes that we will be living in 2050 are already built, and for the UK to achieve the set goal of net zero-carbon emissions our industry has a part to play in moving the dial and ensuring an efficient solution is applied for all projects. Heating-savvy customers will understand
the benefit of whole home heating, rather than a solution which pin-points individual rooms or spaces. An efficient whole home heating system means a consistently warm, dry and comfortable home, and as this trend continues to grow, there are an increasing number of ways to do this. When you combine the high efficiency with renewable electricity, you get very low emissions, and that is particularly important for space heating and water heating, which are two of the UK’s biggest energy users and emissions sources in buildings and homes.
Air to water heating
Air source heat pumps (ASHP) use heat pump technology to heat water, delivering supreme comfort and low operating costs. There are

various combinations of air and water solutions, so you can satisfy your customers specific climate needs all year-round. ASHP systems, such as Samsung’s Eco
Heating System heat pump range, provide homeowners with simple to use, efficient solutions to meet UK market needs. Air source heat pumps take heat energy from the air and via a heat exchanger, heat water for distribution around the home, utilising radiators, underfloor heating and replenishing hot water cylinders to provide sanitary hot water requirements. There are two types of ASHP, a Split type and Monobloc type. The Split type comes in two parts; an outdoor unit and a hydro unit (a separate heat exchanger) which are connected together using refrigerant piping. This permits a long separation between these components allowing siting flexibility for the outdoor unit. However, this solution does require space for the hydro unit (about the size of a gas boiler) to be located indoors. The Monobloc type, combines the
components within the outdoor unit, thus requiring no refrigerant piping, but it limits the location of the outdoor unit to adjacent to the property. In addition to the above, Samsung produce a combined ASHP with air conditioning indoor units, called TDM+, which can provide additional heating in the winter and also cooling in the summer.
