If you want to future-proof your home heating system, air source heat pumps are one of the best alternatives to gas boilers.
However, the UK still has some of the lowest air source heat pump sales in Europe, despite the fact that this type of heating system offers a host of benefits. One of the reasons is believed to be concerns about the upfront cost.
However, thanks to Government grants, this type of technology is much more accessible than many householders realise. Fortunately, the situation is improving in this country, with the demand for heat pumps rising (so much so, the government might run out of vouchers in the near future).
Air source heat pumps are also more popular for new builds than retrofitting in the UK. However, with more information out there than ever, this could also well change.
Grants are currently available for existing homes and non-domestic buildings throughout England and Wales for both air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps.
The £7,500 for households to install air source heat pumps is estimated to cover between 50% to 75% of the cost.
Air source heat pump units take up relatively little space outside a property. If you’re choosing a ground source heat pump, it’s important that there’s enough space outside your property.
Whichever style of heat pump you’re interested in, Alto Energy Limited are specialists in this type of technology and can cover every step of a project, from the supply to the installation and the aftercare.
