Welcome to Eco-Friendly Heating
Homeowners Deserve Efficieny
Air source heat pumps are one of the most efficient and eco-friendly ways to heat your home. They work by extracting heat from the air outside and transferring it inside to heat your home. They can also be used to cool your home during the summer months. This works by reversing the cycle. But please note that the BUS scheme specifically excludes heat pumps that are capable of cooling from any grant scheme.
One of the main advantages of air source heat pumps is their high efficiency. They can produce three or four times more energy than they consume. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint. Air source heat pumps can be used to heat your home, and your hot water.
When it comes to installation, air source heat pumps are much easier and quicker to install compared to ground source heat pump systems. They don't require any expensive or disruptive groundworks. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners looking to retrofit their homes with renewable heating systems.
Extensive Range of Benefits
They also offer a range of benefits over traditional heating systems such as gas boilers. For example, they produce zero emissions on site. This makes them a great choice for homeowners who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore, the power they consume can be offset using solar panels and storage batteries. They are also incredibly quiet! Some with noise levels as low as 35 decibels, making them ideal for use in urban areas.
Another benefit of them is that they are reliable and require very little maintenance. Unlike gas boilers, which require annual servicing, air source heat pumps only require occasional check-ups to ensure they are running efficiently.
They are also eligible for the current government incentive, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This incentive pays homeowners a one off grant of £7,500 to help with the cost of updating to a renewable heat source to heat their home.
But are Air Source Heat Pumps right for you?
While ASHPs are an excellent choice for many homeowners, they may not be suitable for all properties. They work best in well-insulated homes with underfloor heating or low-temperature radiators. Poorly insulated and draughty homes will not benefit as much from air source heat pumps. High temperature radiators, such as those installed with oil or gas boilers will need to be upsized by around 30% or replaced with high efficiency radiators.
In summary, ASHPs are an excellent choice for homeowners looking to reduce their energy bills, carbon footprint, and reliance on fossil fuels. They offer a range of benefits over traditional heating systems and are eligible for the government BUS scheme. While they may not be suitable for all properties, they are an excellent choice for those looking to retrofit their homes with renewable heating systems.
