Description
Garden offices are growing in popularity and come in all shapes and
sizes, from simple wooden sheds to ultra-modern pods and cabins with large
custom glass panels. For those working from home or running a business, they
provide a neat separation from the main house while still avoiding the dreaded
commute!
A comfortable work environment increases productivity and enhances
well-being. If you use your garden office a lot, then you need to think about
how best to heat and cool your office to ensure year-round comfort.
Garden offices are often fitted with forms of direct heating such as
simple electric radiators or more ideally electric floor heating.
Unfortunately, these systems are expensive and inefficient to run compared to
modern air conditioning systems (air source heat pumps).
1. Conventional heating
Gas district heating is widely regarded as the cheapest form of home
heating, with an average unit price of just 3.8p per kWh, regardless of initial
installation and ongoing maintenance costs.
In contrast, electric panel heaters, convectors, and oil-filled
radiators are a popular option because they are relatively inexpensive to
purchase, inexpensive to install, and require no ongoing maintenance. The only
downside is that they rely on electricity during peak hours, at an average cost
of 14.37p per kWh.
Night-time regenerative heaters are still considered the cheapest form
of electric heating because they use Economy 7 off-peak electricity, which is
around 50% lower than normal peak hour electricity prices. However, while in
principle they should be less expensive to run, they actually require double
the input to achieve the desired output.
For example, a night-time regenerative heater with a rated output of
1.5kw would actually require 3.3kw of input to pre-charge the internal energy
battery with enough heat to meet the output requirements for the day.
2. Air conditioning
A 100% efficient electric radiator can generate 1kw of thermal energy
using 1kw of electricity, while an air conditioner using heat pump technology
can generate over 4kw of thermal energy using the same amount of electricity.
Let's imagine your new garden studio using 2kw of heat per hour on an
average of 20 working days per month allows you to bake bread for 6 hours a
day. Using an electric panel heater costs the equivalent of £1.72 per day, or
£34.40 per month during the average heating season.
By comparison, an air conditioner using heat pump technology to deliver
the same amount of heat over the same period costs less than 10p an hour, so in
the worst case it could cost £12.00 a month, saving at least £22.40 a month in
running costs.
Of course, another distinct advantage over gas and traditional electric
heating systems is that the ASHP system is an all-in-one solution that provides
both heating and cooling, with additional features like humidity control and
air filtration to make your studio Comfortable to use 24/7.
3. Air conditioning heat pump system
Our ASHP air conditioning kits combine leading brand systems with the
highest quality connection components and use concealed recessed technology
indoors and outdoor UV stabilized color mixing ductwork to install pipes and
cables in a harmonious way that keeps them Invisibility.
Each system is fully tuned beyond legal requirements for optimum
performance, energy efficiency and long-term durability.
(1) Control and monitoring
Our air conditioning heat pump systems include an IR remote and built-in
WiFi, providing end users with full monitoring and control from any location
using smartphones, tablets and compatible voice devices.
(2) 2 years warranty
A 2-year warranty gives you peace of mind and confidence that we are
confident in the systems we deliver.
Just like you service your car, your air conditioning system needs
annual maintenance to keep it running efficiently.
(3) System size
Our air conditioning heat pump systems are divided into 4 groups based
on
2.5kW
3.5kW
5.0kW
7.0kW
