Government grants for free air source heat pumps are now available for properties through the updated Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
Heat pumps are a new type of energy efficient heating system that use heat from the outside air or ground to provide hot water for your central heating and taps inside your home.
Generally, heat pumps can be split into two categories: ground source – where heat is drawn from the ground, and air source – where heat is collected from the ambient air and compressed to provide heating for your home. Currently government grants are only available for free air source heat pumps.
They are far more energy efficient and eco-friendly because they do not burn any fuel. A heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air, even in lower temperatures, and compresses it to generate heat for your central heating, radiators and hot water taps. They can function even when outside temperatures are as cold as -15 degrees.
Air Source Heat pumps (ASHP) can be installed in practically any home and can reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by up to 65% compared with traditional fossil fuel based central heating systems.
Heat pumps are now free for thousands of households in rural areas through the Energy Company Obligation.
