There are an array of new renewable heating system technologies available to you to increase the energy efficiency of your home. Take a look at the options below or give us a call if you have any questions.
It’s a renewable heating system that extracts heat from the outside air and
releases it into your home. Because the air is constantly being warmed by the
sun’s radiation, it’s a source of energy that will never run out.
An air source heat pump can reduce the CO2 emissions of your heating
system by 30-50% and will save you money as it requires less power than a conventional heating system.
You will even receive up to £10,000
from
the government's RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) subsidy scheme to pay for
the investment.
How it works
The heat pump consists of an extractor unit that sits outside the property,
with a fan that draws the air in.
The air passes over a heat exchanger where
the heat from the air is absorbed.
The heat then goes through a compressor
where it is amplified, before being transferred into your hot water cylinder, and distributed through your existing system.
Costs and Savings
An air source heat pump typically costs between £7,000 and £12,000 - however this is fully dependent on a number of factors and a survey of your property would be required to provide a full costing.
The Governments Renewable Heat Incentive has been introduced to incentivise customers to invest in renewable technologies such as Heat pumps.
As an example, over the 7 years after installing a heat pump, a typical 5
bedroom house will save £2,100* in energy bills, and receive £7,200** in
government subsidies, giving total savings of £9,300.
*Typical savings for a 5 bedroom house switching from oil fired heating
**Typical amount received in RHI payments, for installing renewable heating in a 5 bedroom house.
