Why Choose Heat Pumps?
Efficiency and Sustainability
Heat pumps are not just another heating system but a leap towards sustainability. Air-source and ground-source heat pumps are incredibly efficient, using renewable energy sources to heat your home. They are a low-carbon alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based systems, offering a double benefit of reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills.
Types of Heat Pumps
- Air-Source Heat Pumps: Extract heat from the external air to warm your home and water.
- Ground-Source Heat Pumps: Utilise heat from the ground, collected through a network of underground pipes.
How to Qualify for an ECO 4 Grant?
Qualifying for an ECO 4 grant is straightforward. Your property must have an EPC rating between G and E. However, even if your property is rated higher, you may still qualify based on other criteria like low income or specific health conditions. The grant amount varies depending on individual circumstances but could cover installing a heat pump.
