At Green Energy Home, we believe in practical solutions that help you save money, reduce your carbon footprint and futureproof your home. If you are considering switching to a more efficient way of heating your property, a domestic air source heat pump installation could be exactly what you need.
Air source heat pumps are fast becoming one of the most popular low-carbon heating systems across the UK. They are reliable, highly efficient and work incredibly well in all seasons, even in freezing conditions. Whether you are replacing an old boiler or building a new home, installing a heat pump brings long-term rewards that go beyond simple savings.
Here are three major benefits you will enjoy with an air source heat pump installation from Green Energy Home.
1. Huge Savings on Energy Bills Over Time
While the upfront cost of an air source heat pump may be higher than a traditional boiler, the long-term savings can be substantial. These systems use electricity to extract heat from the air outside and transfer it into your home. Because they generate more energy than they consume, you will see a noticeable reduction in your energy usage almost immediately.
With the option to combine your heat pump with solar PV panels or solar thermal systems, you could be generating free electricity and hot water, which means even more savings. When installed as part of an integrated energy system, your running costs can drop significantly. Some heat pumps are also compatible with special energy tariffs such as Ovo Energy’s 7p per kilowatt hour deal, further reducing the cost of operation.
On top of this, the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently offers a grant of £7500 towards installation, making the transition much more affordable. Over time, the savings on heating and hot water costs will outweigh the initial investment and leave you with more predictable and manageable energy bills.
2. Clean, Sustainable and Low Maintenance Heating
Choosing an air source heat pump is a smart step toward a more sustainable home. These systems help reduce your reliance on fossil fuels by using electricity and the renewable heat available in the air around your home. Unlike gas or oil boilers, heat pumps do not release carbon dioxide during operation, which makes them an important part of the UK’s plan to reach net zero emissions.
An air source heat pump can provide both heating and hot water efficiently, even when outside temperatures drop as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius. The technology is well proven and widely used across colder countries, so you can trust that it will perform well all year round in the UK climate.
Better still, air source heat pumps are low maintenance. Once installed, they require very little attention other than an annual service. There are no flues or fuel deliveries to worry about, and the compact size of the outdoor unit means it takes up less space than you might expect. It is a discreet and reliable solution that delivers powerful results while reducing your home’s environmental impact.
3. Easier Installation and Futureproofed Heating
Compared to ground source heat pumps, air source systems are much simpler and cheaper to install. They do not require extensive groundworks or underground pipe systems, making them more suitable for a wider range of homes and properties. Whether you live in a rural cottage or a semi-detached house in town, an air source heat pump can be adapted to suit your property and existing heating system.
The installation process is straightforward. At Green Energy Home, we begin with a free estimate from a qualified engineer. Then we carry out a full heat loss survey to assess your home’s energy requirements. Once that is done, we apply for the BUS grant on your behalf, saving you time and paperwork.
Our fully trained installers then complete the installation to the highest standard. We take care of the full commissioning and testing process and provide a full handover so you know exactly how to use your new system. We also finalise the BUS grant claim, making the process as smooth and stress free as possible.
Installing a heat pump now also puts you ahead of future regulations. As the UK moves away from gas heating, having a low-carbon system already in place means you are ready for the next generation of home energy standards. It is a smart investment in the value and comfort of your home.
