As energy costs continue to rise, homeowners in the UK are increasingly looking for cost-effective, sustainable solutions to lower their energy bills.
Air source heat pumps, especially when paired with underfloor heating, are emerging as a top choice for those seeking both efficiency and savings. But how much money can you really save long-term with this renewable energy system?
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) work by transferring heat from the outside air into your home, using significantly less energy than traditional gas boilers.
When combined with underfloor heating, the system becomes even more efficient. Underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures, allowing the heat pump to work at its optimal level, which further reduces energy consumption.
How much money can you really save?
On average, homeowners switching from a gas boiler to an air source heat pump can save up to 40-60% on energy bills annually. Over the long term, this can amount to savings of thousands of pounds. Additionally, with the UK government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you could receive financial support for the installation, further reducing upfront costs.
Why is a heat pump more efficient?
One of the key factors contributing to long-term savings is the high efficiency of air source heat pumps.
For every unit of electricity consumed, a well designed and installed ASHP can produce 3 to 4 units of heat, making it far more cost-effective than traditional heating systems. And when paired with underfloor heating, this efficiency translates into consistently lower energy bills year-round.
At Custom Renewables, we specialize in installing cost-effective air source heat pump systems tailored to your home’s needs. Our team ensures that your system is set up for maximum efficiency, delivering both comfort and substantial long-term savings.
