Exhaust Air Heating Technology is a modern concept and is only just becoming understood, this type of installation is particularly suited to small / medium sized well constructed draft free apartments. The EAHP unit derives its power from scavanging energy from previously waste extract air being drawn back into the EAHP from the bathrooms, cloak room, utility room and the kitchen area.

All buildings require some form of ventilation, generally new buildings and especially apartment buildings use mechanical ventilation systems to provide a solution and meet building regulations.

The exhaust air heat pump is a purpose designed product, and is a "design solution" for architects and builders who have struggled to provide quality environmental solutions within a restricted foot print.

The EAHP is designed to facilitate the requirements of small / medium sized new build apartments. The EAHP unit extracts air from the apartment building through a series of small insulated ducts, it then utilises the latent energy entrained within this warm foul air, to provide the fuel for the units compressor. The resultant high temperature from the compressor is transferred to the heating medium which is then utilised to heat the domestic hot water and central heating though either a purpose designed low temperature radiator system or Geo-floor underfloor heating. 

Like all top quality heating products, the heating control system is designed around a weather compensator for optimum efficiency and performance.  

The installation of a EAHP unit is extremely cost and environmentally efficient, practical and user friendly. The installation process is quick and simple and the unit is quiet in operation, which allows it to be installed into Kitchen units or the space vacated where the hot water cylinder would once have been.

It will provide all of the domestic hot water, central heating  and ventilation requirements for the modern home, simply by utilising an element of previously waste energy.

During periods of sustained and abnormal weather conditions the inbuilt electric flow boiler provides additional heat as required so the home owners will never be left in the cold.

The controlled ventilation rates afforded by the EAHP allows the building to breath and enhanced comfort levels are attained. The system also negates the requirement for "trickle vents" installed into windows and individual noisy extract fans in the bathrooms and cloak rooms. The only place that requires separate ventilation is the cooker hood extractor unit, this is because often the cooking process generates airborne fat particles that could be drawn into the unit and cause unpleasant odours to permeate the building.

With most new domestic ovens being fan assisted an extract point is usually installed directly in front of the cooker vent to capture the warm exhaust air stream which is then drawn back to the heat pump.
