Deflate your heating costs

There really hasn’t been a better time to switch to a more efficient, cost-effective renewable heating system.

Since the energy price hikes we saw towards the middle and end of last year, the cost of heating our homes has increased significantly. Mains gas, which has always broadly been the cheapest method of heating your home, has now become one of the most expensive fuels at over 10p a unit. Oil has always been an expensive fuel – a big, green tank in the garden, a nasty smell around the boiler. Not to mention volatile prices.

Air source heating is a direct replacement for oil and gas boilers, providing all a property’s heating and hot water. Typically, a single fan unit will sit on the outside of the home and connect into a water tank and the existing central heating. Some small upgrades may be required but disruption in the home is minimal. Once installed, the heat pump provides a more constant, low-grade type of heat, maintaining an ambient temperature between 18 and 21c.

Air source heating requires no storage of fuel or deliveries, offers lower running costs and creates an annual carbon reduction of a number of tonnes. In addition to all of this, the government is currently offering £5,000 to any homeowner looking to replace their fossil fuel boiler with a low carbon heat pump. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides a £5,000 lump sum payment towards the costs of installing a heat pump. This makes the costs of upgrading to air source similar to installing a gas or oil boiler.

The limited scheme runs until 2025 and works on a first-come-first-serve basis. As we move through winter and with more price rises anticipated later in the year, switch out your boiler with an energy efficient heat pump now to start saving.
