It is cheaper to run a heat pump for heating than to use electricity for heating. Ground Source Heat Pumps also save money compared to gas boilers and oil boilers. Depending on the type of ground source heat pump you install, you can expect savings of between 500 to pounds every year.
With heat pumps, carbon emissions will be a thing of the past. And you can power heat pumps with a 100% renewable energy source. This is a significant change from traditional heat sources. Other systems generate carbon emission, which is harmful to the environment.
There is no fuel storage with heat pumps. When you install a heat pump, you no longer require a furnace. You will likely not require planning permission to install heat pump. In the future, heat pumps will be the main source of heating in homes. Common heating systems will no longer be in vogue.

A Little More On Air Source Heat Pumps
Here’s how Air Source Heat Pumps work
Air source heat pumps take air from the outside and distributes it inside the house. The unit will increase the temperature of the heat before releasing it inside. This is achieved by compressing the fluids inside the heat pump system. You can use this to heat up water, while keeping your interior warm.
How Much Could an Air Source Heat Pump Save Me?
You get to enjoy almost as much savings with air source heat pumps, as you would with ground source heat pumps. And compared to electric resistance heaters, you’ll save somewhere above £400 per year.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
Making a choice between these types of heat pumps can be difficult for a few people. It is more expensive to install Ground Source Heat Pumps. 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. Air source heat pumps are known for higher energy consumption. This is because the temperature in the ground is greater than the temperature in the air. 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. Air source heat pumps, however, don’t perform as well in the cold. But they are very easy to install, just like air conditioners. But you will need to excavate the land before you can install a Ground Source Heat Pump. So, be sure to confirm that you have enough space and the right type of land for the project. Both types of heat pumps are reliable, but installation process differ. To know more about installing a heat pump in Ashford, call 01273 257407 .
