Switching to a sustainable and energy-efficient heating solution is essential in reducing carbon emissions and ensuring a greener future. Air-source and ground-source heat pumps are modern, low-carbon heating systems that can help households in Edinburgh and Midlothian transition to more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives.
Eco-Home Network, a family-run business with over ten years of experience in the Energy Efficiency Industry, is dedicated to assisting eligible homeowners and tenants in obtaining heat pump grants through the ECO 4 scheme. This government initiative helps those who claim eligible benefits, have a low income, suffer from cold-related illnesses, and own properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of G, F, or E.
Eco-Home Network works with households in Scotland and helps eligible residents secure ECO 4 grants for energy-efficient home improvements, such as air-source and ground-source heat pump installations.
Air-source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside and use it to heat the home, even in freezing temperatures. Ground-source heat pumps, on the other hand, draw heat from the ground to heat the home.
These highly efficient systems can generate up to four times the energy they consume. By upgrading to a heat pump, households can lower energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and enjoy a more comfortable living environment.
