Heat Pump Grants in Bearsden
Bearsden homeowners are now in a prime position to take advantage of heat pump grants through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme. From reducing energy bills to contributing to the environment, heat pumps have become an attractive option for many.
The Importance of Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are rapidly becoming a preferred heating option in the UK. Suitable for most homes, they offer substantial savings on energy bills. By capturing heat from outside and transferring it into your home, heat pumps use less electrical energy than the heat they deliver. This makes them an extremely low-carbon heating option, particularly as the UK's electricity grid continues to decarbonise. The Government plans to install millions of heat pumps across the UK in the next 10-15 years to achieve the 2050 net-zero targets. Bearsden homeowners are encouraged to be part of this exciting journey towards a sustainable future.
Types of Heat Pumps and Costs
Air Source Heat Pumps
These are the most common domestic heat pumps in Bearsden, transferring heat from outside air to water in your home. Suitable for many properties, the costs are around £14,000. However, funding is available to cover these costs through the ECO scheme and Eco-home Network.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps are another excellent option to transfer heat from the ground to heat your home. The cost can be around £28,000, influenced by factors like access to the ground, brand, size, and property type. Again, the ECO scheme can pay for the majority of these costs.
