Advantages Of Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps are a lot cheaper than heating via normal electricity. Running a gas or oil boiler cost more to run than using a ground source heat pump. Depending on the type of ground source heat pump you install, you can expect savings of between 500 to pounds every year.
Heat pumps don’t generate carbon emissions. In fact, you can power your heat pump with renewable energy entirely. Regular heating systems cannot work this way. Traditional systems emit carbon, and this slowly damages the environment.
Your heating can be 24/7 as you can never run out fuel with heat pumps. You save the space required for a furnace when you install a heat pump. You can install most heat pumps without planning permission. Heat pumps are positioning to becoming the primary source of domestic heating in the future. Regular heating systems may be a thing of the past. To find out how you can install a heat pump in your Lydd property, call 01273 257407 .
The amount of energy savings will depend on your use and your existing system. When you switch from a gas boiler, you are likely looking at 26% savings. 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
ASHP harvests hot air from outside the house and funnels it inside via the indoor units. The system increases the temperature from the heat extracted outside. 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 and ground source heat pumps offer similar savings. And compared to electric resistance heaters, you’ll save somewhere above £400 per year.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
It can be a tough choice choosing between ground source and air source heat pumps. You will spend more installing a ground source heat pump. However, you will enjoy better energy efficiency.
Ground source heat pumps get their energy from underground and water sources. So, GSHP are the more efficient and cost-effective alternative. With air source heat pumps, you can expect more energy consumption. This is caused by higher temperatures underground than in the air. So, ASHPs need more energy to increase air temperatures. That said, ASHP are less costly to install and are still good investments. Unfortunately, these systems lose performance during the cold months. But they are very easy to install, just like air conditioners. But Ground Source Heat Pumps require digging the land. Therefore, make sure you have a suitable land. Air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps are equally reliable, but they are installed differently. To find out how you can install a heat pump in your Lydd property, call 01273 257407 .
