Heating Solutions
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps heat your home and hot water, and are a low-maintenance heating solution. They work in a similar way to a fridge or air conditioning system, the difference being that they produce warm air. They are powered by electricity but with a 400% efficiency rating. Compare this to the average 90% rating of a new boiler, or older boilers (that can be as low as 60%), and you’ll quickly realise why air source heat pumps are a popular way to heat your home or business.
Energy Efficient Gas Boilers
Most of us are reliant on our gas boilers, and things become rather bleak when they break down. We also spend a good portion of our income on energy, heating alone accounts for 55-60% of our energy bills, so an energy efficient boiler makes a huge difference. A modern boiler will reduce your fuel bills, cut your carbon footprint and make your home more energy efficient.
First Time Central Heating
First time central heating grants can help you if you live in a household struggling with inefficient or non-existing heating systems. With grant funding you can get a central heating system so that you can lower your heating bills and live in a warmer home. A central heating system is a more reliable and efficient way to heat a house. Central heating systems are now designed to allow you to have complete control of when you heat your house and the temperature. That means no more coming home to a cold house after a long day!
Electric Storage Heaters
Electric storage heaters use electricity to generate heat. They don’t require a wet central heating system like boilers do. Electric storage heaters generally store heat overnight when electricity is cheaper and release it during the day when needed. This is why electric storage heaters are known as ‘night storage heaters’. Storage heaters can use electricity to heat your home at any time, but most people use the heat during the day.
Smart Heating Controls
These are thermostatic devices that are connected wirelessly to your heating systems. They can be controlled remotely using a smart phone, tablet or other internet connected devices. They allow greater control of your heating and can therefore help to save money on your heating bills.
