Air Source Heat Pump Installer

1. Energy Efficiency: ASHPs are remarkably efficient. Although they require electricity to operate, they typically use less energy than the heat they produce. This makes them an eco-friendly heating solution.
2. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Traditional heating systems emit significant carbon dioxide. ASHPs help reduce your home’s carbon footprint by using renewable energy from the air.
3. Cost-Effective: ASHPs can save you money on energy bills. Their efficiency translates to long-term cost savings, especially when compared to gas boilers.
4. Quiet Operation: ASHPs operate quietly, similar to your fridge freezer. No noisy combustion processes or disruptions.
5. Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI): Homeowners may qualify for government incentives, such as the RHI, which provides financial support for renewable heating systems like ASHPs.
6. Easy Installation: ASHPs are relatively straightforward to install, especially when compared to ground-source heat pumps. They adapt well to various property types.

Estimated Running Costs:

The annual running costs of an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) in the UK can vary based on factors like home size and energy needs. Here are some realistic figures to consider:

• Average Annual Heat Demand: Let’s assume an average annual heat demand of 12,000 kWh for a medium-sized household.
• Electricity Price: At an average electricity price of £0.245 per kWh (as of April 2024), the running cost would be approximately £685 to £1,550 per year.
• Efficiency: ASHPs typically have a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of around 3.4, meaning they produce 3.4 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed.

• The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers generous grants for ASHP installation. Families can receive up to £7,500 toward the cost of a new heat pump, making it one of the most attractive schemes in Europe.
• The scheme has been extended until 2028, allowing more time for homeowners to take advantage of this opportunity.

ASHPs are a long-term investment, offering both environmental benefits and potential cost savings.

Remember, an ASHP not only provides comfort but also contributes to a greener future. If you’re considering one for your home, contact North Lincs Boilers LTD to discuss your options.
