Heat pumps are important for lowering our energy costs and reducing pollution. They’re also vital for the government’s plans to meet net zero targets. Like solar panels and wind turbines, heat pumps are considered a renewable energy source. Better yet, these types of heating systems require less maintenance than traditional boilers.
What are the most popular heat pumps in Britain?
Here in the UK, the most popular designs are air source heat pumps, which extract air from the outside air. According to research by The Eco Experts, an air source heat pump can typically save you £4,340 over its lifetime, compared to a gas boiler. Other types include ground source heat pumps which extract heat from the ground.
This type of technology works most well with underfloor heating systems, which we’re also able to install. They’re also good for larger radiator systems. Heat pumps are suitable for most homes but it will depend upon when it was built, if it has any insulation in the outer walls or roof, and a number of other factors.
Did you know that the grants for heat pumps have been increased in 2023?
The BUS grant for ground or air source heat pumps is now up to £7,500, which means it’s gone up by 50%. There’s never been a better time to look at whether heat pumps are right for your home improvement project.
