Heating your property using a heat pump will cost less than using electricity systems. GSHP will also save you money compared to when you use either gas boilers or oil boilers. Your savings depends on the type of Ground Source Heat Pump you choose but can be anything up to a £750 plus saving.

There is nothing like shortage of fuel when you use heat pumps. A furnace is no longer needed and this space can be converted into a usable space. You may not need to apply for planning permission to install a heat pump on your property. Heat pumps may take over heating in the future. Traditional sources of heat will be a thing of the past.

A Little More On Air Source Heat Pumps
Here’s how Air Source Heat Pumps work
Air Source Heat Pumps circulate air inside the house after extracting it from the outside. 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. You can use this to heat up water, while keeping your interior warm.
How Much Could an Air Source Heat Pump Save Me?
Savings from air source heat pumps are similar to that of ground source heat pumps. Plus, you are looking at about £400 in savings especially when compared to electric resistance heaters.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
Choosing a heat pump type can be difficult for most people. You will spend more installing a ground source heat pump. But it is more energy efficient.
Ground Source Heat Pumps take their energy from water and underground sources. So, GSHP are the more efficient and cost-effective alternative. Air source heat pumps require more energy to work. This is due to the fact the underground temperatures are greater. This means that you may likely spend more to run an air source heat pump compared to ground source heat pumps. That said, ASHP are less costly to install and are still good investments. But they don’t work as well during the winter months. But they are very easy to install, just like air conditioners. But Ground Source Heat Pumps need land excavation. So, make sure your land is suitable for the project. Both types of heat pumps are reliable, but installation process differ.
