What are air source heat pumps?
Simply put, air source heat pumps (ASHPs) absorb heat from the outside air and use it to heat your home and household water. They remain efficient in unusually cold temperatures and work even when the temperature is as low as -15°C! They operate by efficiently transferring heat from the air outside, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional gas-powered heating systems.
Cost benefits of installing an air source heat pump
Energy savings
One of the main benefits of air source heat pumps is their potential to reduce energy consumption. This improvement in efficiency, and the resulting cost savings, can be significant when compared to fossil fuel boilers which can produce less heat for every unit of electricity used.
Government incentives
Government grants designed to encourage the adoption of renewable energy systems means there’s never been a better time to invest in an air source heat pump. This is particularly true when you consider that in the long term, we will all have to make the switch to more sustainable forms of energy. For the very latest information on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) which provides grants to help cover installation costs, please visit our funding page.
Long-term savings
While the initial cost of installing an air source heat pump can be higher than a gas boiler, as we have seen, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides significant help with this investment in your property’s future. What’s more, not only can installing this kind of system increase your home’s value, the savings that you make on energy bills means air source heat pumps can be very cost-effective over time. Not only that, once installed, air source heat pumps are generally low maintenance, meaning as long as they are looked after with a recommended annual air source heat pump service, repair costs should be few and far between.
Efficiency benefits of air source heat pumps
Beyond those all-important cost savings, air source heat pumps offer a whole host of efficiency advantages that can make a noticeable difference in your home. These systems are incredibly versatile too, with an air source heat pump for underfloor heating working every bit as well as a system connected to a more traditional radiator-based heating system.
Low carbon footprint
Many of us are concerned about the impact of our day-to-day lives on the environment, and as the government aims to meet its ambitious net zero targets, we will all be increasingly required to do our part to help slow global warming. Air source heat pumps drastically reduce your carbon emissions compared to fossil fuel-based systems. By switching to this renewable energy source, not only are you cutting down on greenhouse gases, but you’re also contributing to the UK’s carbon reduction targets.
Quiet operation
No more being woken up by the noise of an older boiler system springing into action! Air source heat pumps are designed to operate quietly, providing a tranquil home environment free from noisy distractions.
