Advantages Of Ground Source Heat Pumps
Heating your property using a heat pump will cost less than using electricity systems. Running a gas or oil boiler cost more to run than using a ground source heat pump. Your savings depends on the type of Ground Source Heat Pump you choose but can be anything up to a £750 plus saving.
Heat pumps are eco-friendly. In fact, you can power your heat pump with renewable energy entirely. This is something you cannot get with LPG, coal, or oil systems. Traditional systems emit carbon, and this slowly damages the environment.
Heat pumps can work every day of the week as they don’t require fuel to work. A heat pump will also save space in your home as you will not need a furnace. You may not need to apply for planning permission to install a heat pump on your property. In the future, heat pumps will be the main source of heating in homes. Regular sources of domestic heating may slowly phase out. Call 01273 257407 for more information on heat pumps installation in SouthendonSea.
The savings you can expect will depend on the unit you choose and how you use it. Nevertheless, you are looking at savings within the range of 26%, especially compared to gas boilers. This means savings of between £500 to £1400 every year.

A Little More On Air Source Heat Pumps
Here’s how Air Source Heat Pumps work
Air Source Heat Pumps take heat from the air outside and circulate it inside a building. The temperature of the harvested air is first increased to suit the inside of the house. This is possible as a result of the fluid that comes with the heat pump. With this heat, you can heat hot water and make your house warm.
How Much Could an Air Source Heat Pump Save Me?
Air source heat pumps will also result in significant savings, just like with ground source heat pumps. In fact, you will likely save as much as £400 every year, compared to electric resistance heaters.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
It can be a difficult decision choosing between Ground Source and Air Source Heat Pump. However, it is more expensive to install a ground source heat pump. But you gain greater energy efficiency.
Underground and water sources provide ground source heat pumps with heat. This means that ground source pumps work better and save more. Air source heat pumps tend to use up more energy than ground source pumps. This is caused by higher temperatures underground than in the air. So, ASHPs need more energy to increase air temperatures. ASHPs are less expensive upfront and will tend to provide a very good return on your investment. Air Source Heat Pumps become less efficient during colder months. Air Source Heat Pumps are as easy to install, just like an air conditioner unit. But you will need to excavate the land before you can install a Ground Source Heat Pump. Therefore, make sure you have a suitable land. Both types of heat pumps are reliable, but installation process differ.
