Advantages Of Ground Source Heat Pumps
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. You can save as much as 750 pounds every year with a ground source heat pump, but this also depends on the system you choose.
Heat pumps don’t generate carbon emissions. Heat pumps can be powered totally with renewable energy. 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 can install most heat pumps without planning permission. Heat pumps are the main heat sources of the future. Regular heating systems may be a thing of the past. Learn more about how you too can install a heat pump in Banbury by calling our experts on Banbury.
Your energy expenses savings will depend a lot on your system and how you use it. However, compared to gas boilers, you are likely looking at around 26% of 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
Air Source Heat Pumps extract heat from the outside and moves it into the house. The system makes the air hotter before passing it into the house. The fluid inside the heat pump makes this possible. You can use this system to both keep the inside of your home warm and heat up water.
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
Choosing between ground source heat pumps and air source heat pumps can be difficult. However, it is more expensive to install a ground source heat pump. But you stand to gain a higher level of energy efficiency.
Underground and water sources provide ground source heat pumps with heat. So, they are much more efficient and can save more money. Air source heat pumps tend to use up more energy than ground source pumps. This is due to the fact the underground temperatures are greater. This means that to increase the temperature in your home, ASHP will use up more energy. ASHPs are less expensive upfront and will tend to provide a very good return on your investment. Unfortunately, these systems lose performance during the cold months. Air Source Heat Pumps are quite easy to set up, much like an air condition unit. But Ground Source Heat Pumps need land excavation. So, make sure your land is suitable for the project. Both ground source and air source heat pumps are energy efficient, but their installation methods vary. To find out how you can install a heat pump in your Banbury property, call 01273 257407 .
