Air Source Heat Pump Grants

The Free Boiler Grant: Are You Eligible?

Air source heat pumps gained immense popularity across the United Kingdom for being sustainable and economical heating systems. As per the Energy Saving Trust, Air Source Heat Pump reduces 44% of emissions every year. Not only does it keep your house warm during cold weather, but it keeps the water hot too! An Air Source Heat Pump grabs heat at a low temperature from the outside air, it increases the air temperature using a compressor system, providing heat and hot water. When the air-source heat pump uses heat from the outside and converts it to a working solution, keeps your house warm enough. They do it so much more efficiently than those conventional gas-fired boilers or heating systems.

Air Source Heat Pumps: Energy Efficient heating systems

Heat pumps are rising in demand thanks to the edge they hold over other conventional heating systems. With new government grants for heat pumps and other incentives offered, it has become an attractive option for many.

Up to £7500 is offered to eligible homeowners.

Are Heat Pumps Right for Your Property

Government grants for heat pumps have increased by 50%, reaching £7500 for eligible properties. This has heightened the interest of homeowners looking to save money while not having to fork out the huge initial investment. Heat pumps are worth the money because of their reliability and efficiency. They are a great option, which is why for homeowners, when applying for a grant, they have to make sure that your property has not had previous heat pump or biomass boiler grants, as that would take away your eligibility. While the transition to cleaner and energy-saving options is important, government grants are focused on those who have not been able to get access to these systems before, allowing them the same level of comfort and technology provided to others.

ECO4 And Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The Energy Company Obligation first launched the ECO scheme in 2013 and has since increased it’s funding to help make UK homes more energy efficient. Both the ECO4 scheme and boiler upgrade scheme (BUS) can provide you with a grant if you are eligible. They are both designed to lower carbon emissions by making homes more energy efficient. They do this by giving access to new heating systems and insulation that can help transform your home, allowing you a more comfortable and healthier life. Making use of the ECO and BUS schemes is important for both you and the environment. Studies have shown that homes that are not efficiently warmed can have a deteriorating effect on children and elderly people. Having an inefficient heating system will mean that you will be paying too much to create a safe home for them. Upgrading your heating system is the best solution, and we make sure we get it right to help keep you and your family warm and happy.

A Step Towards Net Zero

Heat pumps are an important part of the UK’s drive towards the Net Zero 2050 goal. To make sure that we are able to achieve a sustainable future, more renewable energy sources need to be installed. Heat pumps can last more than 25 years if well maintained, giving them the ability to warm you and your home for a very long time. It is a long-term solution for your high electric bill and the environment. Gas boilers are slowly being replaced by more efficient low-carbon alternatives, so that by 2035, the UK will have reached its goal of eliminating the traditional gas boiler for new efficient heating systems that are friendly to the environment. ASHP are an important part of future energy plans, which is why taking a step today to install one will give a head start, as they help raise the value of your home and give you a better EPC rating. ASHP does not produce air pollutants the same way gas boilers do, allowing your family to live in a healthier environment with better air quality.
ASHPs

An Efficient System

Heat pumps are highly efficient when compared to other heating systems, and that is because new heat pumps can produce 4 times the amount of energy they use. They capture the heat from outside sources, air or ground, and use it to heat either a gas or a water supply. The gas is then circulated around your home directly, or the water is used to warm your home. This simple process is effective even if the outside temperature is low, as heat pumps are still able to extract heat from very low temperatures. During the survey, you will be informed of any additional heating systems that might need to be installed, especially insulation, to make sure that the heat pump is as efficient as possible. Other heating systems can be installed free of charge if you are eligible. ASHP can also be powered by solar power or other renewable sources of energy, helping bring your bills further down. Solar panels are included in the ECO4 scheme, allowing them to be installed for free, and are usually recommended and installed alongside ASHP.

UK and ASHPs

ASHP have failed to be as popular in the UK as they are in other European countries. The rate of installation is much higher in the US and Europe thanks to their efficiency and low operating costs. Many UK homeowners are still unsure because older heat pumps were loud and needed a lot of space. They were also not as efficient as they are today. These reasons have made many hesitant, putting the UK behind in the race. ASHP are considerably cheaper in Europe and the US thanks to their widespread use. Innovation and building costs are therefore lower, further helping the market for them grow. Countries with the highest rate of ASHP installation in Europe are Scandinavian, with Finland at the top of the list, which shows that they operate well in cold weather. Awareness of their advantages needs to be more widespread if the UK wants to catch up with Europe, especially after Europe has become the fastest-growing market for ASHP.
