Air Source Heat Pumps – a sustainable, efficient heating solution that aligns perfectly with Scotland’s ambitious net-zero targets.
Discover the environmental and economic benefits of upgrading to an Air Source Heat Pump. As Scotland strides towards its net zero targets, these innovative systems are pivotal for homeowners looking to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint.
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are a revolutionary advancement in eco-friendly home heating. Using minimal electricity, these systems extract heat from outside air—even in temperatures as low as -20°C—enhancing the heat and transferring it indoors to warm your home and water efficiently. With an average efficiency rate of 350%, compared to traditional gas boilers at 90%, ASHPs offer a smarter, greener heating solution.
This is why they are becoming an increasingly popular choice among environmentally conscious homeowners in Scotland.
Significant Savings on Fuel Bills: Operate more efficiently than conventional heating systems, significantly reducing monthly energy expenditures.
Lower Carbon Footprint: By utilising renewable energy from the air, these pumps decrease household CO2 emissions, aligning with environmental conservation efforts.
Reliable Performance: Capable of heating your home even in extreme winter conditions, ensuring comfort all year round.
Government Incentives: Qualify for ECO4 grants, making them an economical choice for energy upgrades.
To qualify for an ECO4 grant, your home must have a low energy efficiency rating (E-G) and high energy costs.
Eligibility extends to those in receipt of certain means-tested benefits such as Universal Credit or Pension Credit.
Additional eligibility may apply if you’re a low-income household claiming child benefits, with total gross earnings below specific thresholds.
Air source heat pumps absorb external air, using a refrigerant to extract the heat. This heat is then compressed, raising its temperature significantly before being transferred into your home’s heating system, providing efficient heating and hot water.
Because the system primarily uses heat from the external environment, it operates with high efficiency and significantly lower energy costs compared to traditional heating methods.
A detailed assessment of your home to ensure compatibility with ASHP technology.
Verifying that your home’s insulation meets the requirements for optimal heat pump performance.
Professional installation of the heat pump, integrated seamlessly with your existing heating system.
Ensuring everything is set up correctly and efficiently.
