At Green Energy Homes, we’re proud to be air source heat pump specialists who help UK homeowners take climate action without giving up comfort. Our mission is simple: lower your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint and future-proof your home with powerful, sustainable heating solutions.
One of the smartest and most impactful ways to cut carbon is by replacing your traditional boiler with an air source heat pump. It’s an upgrade that’s better for the planet, your wallet and your quality of life. And with our Vaillant heat pumps and OVO’s Heat Pump Plus scheme, it’s never been easier to make the switch.
What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a low-carbon heating system that extracts heat from the air outside—even in cold weather—and uses it to heat your home and hot water. It works using electricity and a refrigerant cycle to compress and transfer heat, much like a refrigerator in reverse.
Unlike gas or oil boilers, which burn fossil fuels, a heat pump doesn’t generate heat through combustion. It simply moves heat from one place to another. Because of this, a heat pump can produce three times as much heat energy as the electricity it consumes.
That efficiency is key. It means you’re using less energy overall and reducing the amount of CO₂ your home releases into the atmosphere.
Why Heating Is a Big Deal for the Planet
Heating is one of the UK’s biggest sources of carbon emissions. In fact, around 15 percent of the country’s total emissions come from heating homes. Traditional boilers—especially older models—burn gas or oil and release carbon dioxide into the air every time they fire up.
Switching to an air source heat pump can reduce your home’s heating-related emissions by as much as 65 percent. And when powered by renewable electricity, that figure gets even better. You could be running your heating system on near-zero emissions.
At Green Energy Homes, we only install high-efficiency Vaillant heat pumps, known for their performance, reliability and smart connectivity. When combined with smart controls and clean energy, you create a heating system that is not just efficient but intelligent too.
Lower Carbon, Lower Bills: OVO’s Heat Pump Plus
One of the best parts of switching to a heat pump with us is the chance to save money with OVO’s Heat Pump Plus scheme. You can save up to £495 per year just by running your system efficiently.
Here’s how it works:
- You sign up for Heat Pump Plus as part of your OVO energy account.
- Your home’s electricity stays on your standard tariff.
- But the electricity used by your Vaillant heat pump is charged at a much lower rate.
- OVO monitors your heat pump usage automatically.
- Each month, your savings are calculated and credited back to your account within 7 working days.
It’s that simple. There’s no need for meter readings or estimates. You get rewarded for choosing a low-carbon, high-efficiency system.
When your heat pump is paired with our connected controls, it becomes even smarter. The system learns your heating patterns, responds to outdoor temperatures and adjusts automatically. You get comfort when you need it and savings when you don’t.
