As another year draws to a close it seems installers are embracing the heat pump option. A new study by Samsung has revealed that 78% of heating industry professionals said demand for heat pumps had increased in the last five years, with seven out of ten professionals now seeing heat pumps as a more viable solution versus a few years ago.
Partly driven by events on the world stage, 79% of heating industry professionals say global issues were driving demand for technologies like heat pumps. This attitudinal shift is driving an even greater need for training, education and awareness about the ways heat pumps can help the UK deliver on its ambition to decarbonise homes and cut emissions by 2035.
In October Samsung announced the UK launch of its most advanced air source heat pump to date, the EHS Mono HT Quiet.
With so many homes in the UK using radiators which require hot water temperatures of 65°C or more to heat
rooms effectively, Samsung has noticed a perception that heat pumps won’t suffice.
The EHS Mono HT Quiet can consistently provide hot water of up to 70°C for domestic heating purposes, it said. The dark grey heat pump also has a Quiet Mark certification thanks to its double-layered sound insulation system, operating at noise levels as low as 35 d(BA). The EHS Mono HT Quiet has a SCOP* of A+++ energy and is now available in three capacities (8, 12, and 14KW), including both the single and three-phase power supply system.

The level of sound an appliance makes while operating and how loud it is are important considerations for homeowners when choosing a new heating system. All Grant air source heat pumps have low noise levels with both the 13kW and 17kW Aerona³ models being awarded the Quiet Mark. In this blog, we interview Simon Gosling from Quiet Mark to learn more about the importance of quiet acoustics.
Why wait to reduce your carbon footprint and your heating bills? Asks the headline in this beautiful double page spread ad for Vaillant UK in The Guardian on 26th March 2022, which also, (we’re delighted to see!), displays their Quiet Mark certification.
Quiet Mark has enjoyed Enki magazine since meeting Editor Eleanor Rice at Planted last year, when our CEO/ Founder, Poppy Szkiler, spoke on the Toxic Cities panel, moderated by Oliver Heath of Oliver Heath Design. So we are pleased to see Enki including our images in their beautiful September and October issues.
Samsung has launched the company’s most advanced air source heat pump to date, representing an evolution in low carbon heating solutions.
Rising energy bills are of increasing importance as prices are set to surge even further. Heat pumps offer an efficient solution as they generate about 3.5kWh of heat for every 1kWh of electricity used. That’s 350% efficiency!
