Heating

An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) is a highly efficient system used for heating your home and providing you with hot water. ASHPs are a key technology in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

An ASHP is an electric device which works similarly to a fridge but in reverse. Air is drawn in from the outside and is blown it over a refrigerant liquid which is converted into gas. This gas is then compressed, boosting its temperature. The gas then passes into a heat exchanger and heats water. This water is then circulated around your home.
ASHPs can deliver up to three times more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume, making them highly efficient.

By utilising air as a heat source, Air Source Heat Pumps can significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil fuel heating systems.

ASHP systems can be installed with smart controls which can integrate with home automation systems for better energy management and convenience.

Boiler Upgrades or Gas First Time Central Heating systems are available under the ECO4 Scheme. This is subject property eligibility.

ECO4 can cover the replacement of old and inefficient boilers with new, energy-efficient models. This can include condensing boilers and combi boilers.

The boiler upgrade is fully funded by the ECO4 Scheme and a fully qualified gas engineer will install your new, more efficient model.

Our Retrofit Assessor will visit your home to evaluate your current heating system and energy efficiency to determine if a boiler upgrade is right for you.

Electric Storage Heaters store heat generated at night and release it during the day. To access cheaper electricity, a time of use tariff such as Economy 7 or Economy 10 should be used.

Electricity is used to heat up the Storage Heaters. They heat up overnight and the heat is gradually released the next day to keep the property warm.

Storage heaters are installed by a qualified electrician, as the ESH must be wired up.

New electric storage heaters are required to have a minimum energy efficiency rating of 38%. Digital Programmers, Open Window Sensors, Electronic Room Temperature Controls can be used to help to meet this percentage.

ESH can have additional functions such as: fan assist, thermostatic controls, remote controls and a boost function.
