Advantages Of Ground Source Heat Pumps
It is cheaper to run a heat pump for heating than to use electricity for heating. 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. And you can power heat pumps with a 100% renewable energy source. This is something you cannot get with LPG, coal, or oil systems. Your old system emits harmful chemicals into the environment.
There is no fuel storage with heat pumps. A furnace is no longer needed and this space can be converted into a usable space. No planning permission needed to install heat pumps Heat pumps may take over heating in the future. Traditional sources of heat will be a thing of the past. Learn more about how you too can install a heat pump in Farnham by calling our experts on Farnham.
The savings you can expect will depend on the unit you choose and how you use it. You are looking at savings in the range of 26%, especially when compared to a gas boiler. This amounts to between £500 and £1400 in savings 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 system regulates the temperature of the heat. This is possible as a result of the fluid that comes with the heat pump. Apart from keeping your home warm, heat pumps can also be used to generate heated water.
How Much Could an Air Source Heat Pump Save Me?
The savings from Air Source Heat Pumps is close to that of 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 a heat pump type can be difficult for most people. Ground source heat pumps are more expensive to install. However, GSHP happens to be more energy efficient.
With ground source heat pumps, you can use either underground heat or water sources. This makes GSHP more efficient and cost effective. Air source heat pumps are known for higher energy consumption. This is as a result of higher underground temperatures 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 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. Get in touch with us on 01273 257407 to know how you can get a heat pump for your Farnham property.
