As the United Kingdom sets its sights on achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, focusing on sustainable and energy-efficient solutions has never been more critical.
One of the most impactful ways to contribute to this national goal is by transitioning to low-carbon heating systems like air-source and ground-source heat pumps. Eco-home Network is at the forefront of facilitating this transition for homeowners in these areas.
The ECO 4 scheme is a government-backed initiative that offers grants for air-source and ground-source heat pumps. These grants are not limited to a specific demographic but are available to those on low income, who claim eligible benefits, or who have health conditions exacerbated by cold temperatures. One of the prerequisites for these grants is that the property must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of G, F, or E.
Eco-home Network is actively collaborating with homeowners in Southport and surrounding areas to help them secure ECO 4 grants. If you meet the Eligibility criteria, you can obtain a grant that could cover the cost of installing a more eco-friendly heating system in your home.
The grant amount varies based on several factors, including your current financial situation, the type of property you own, and its EPC rating. Typically, the installation cost for air-source heat pumps ranges from £7,000 to £11,000, while ground-source heat pumps can set you back between £11,000 and £15,000. However, an ECO 4 grant could cover these costs entirely, making the transition to sustainable heating systems more accessible.
These systems extract heat from the external air to warm your home. They are especially effective in regions with milder winters, making them an excellent choice for areas like Southport and its neighbours.
These pumps draw heat from the ground and are more suitable for regions experiencing colder winters.
Both types of heat pumps are highly efficient, can significantly reduce energy bills, and contribute to lower carbon emissions than traditional heating systems.
