The benefits: how Heat Pumps reduce costs
An Air or Ground Source Heat Pump is possibly the most energy-efficient heat source for your home, extracting free heat from the air or ground to generate heating and hot water, and reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint.
In a well-insulated property, every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity used to power the heat pump can provide around three kWh of ‘free’ thermal energy. This means that a heat pump’s efficiency can reach around 400% – far more than boilers that tend to run at around 92%.
