Blog: Decarbonising Our Homes: Why Installing Heat Pumps is Vital

The Dual Challenge: Rising Energy Bills and Climate Crisis

In recent years, the threat of skyrocketing energy bills has loomed over households across the UK. As if that weren’t enough, we’re also grappling with the urgent crisis of climate change. Consider this: of the approximately 30 million buildings in the UK, heating these structures contributes to nearly a quarter of all UK emissions. It’s a staggering statistic that demands action.

The Rise of Heat Pumps: A Sustainable Solution

Enter the heat pump, a beacon of hope in the fight against carbon emissions. Unlike traditional methods reliant on burning fossil fuels like gas and oil, heat pumps harness the clean, free energy that surrounds us in the form of air. With initial costs covered by qualifying customers under the ECO4 grants or receiving up to £7,500 toward installation, there has never been a more opportune moment to embrace this transformative technology.

Let’s draw a comparison with Scandinavia, where only 2% of carbon emissions stem from homes. What’s their secret? They’ve wholeheartedly embraced air source heat pumps as the primary method for heating their homes. In fact, 60% of homes in these colder climates boast some form of heat pump, and 100% of boiler replacements and new installations are air source heat pumps.

Addressing Climate Change: A Home Solution

Climate change presents a real and immediate challenge, but the solution lies right at our doorstep, quite literally. By adopting air source heat pumps and integrating additional technologies such as solar panels, batteries, and enhanced home insulation, we can not only contribute to a cleaner planet but also enhance our home comfort and reduce energy bills.

Unlike gas and oil boilers, which burn fossil fuels and contribute significantly to carbon emissions, air source heat pumps utilise a fraction of the electricity and are four times more efficient. This translates to a 75% reduction in energy usage, instantly slashing carbon emissions.

Government Support: Making the Transition Affordable

The benefits are clear: easy installation, cost savings, and minimal lifestyle adjustments. Yet, uptake remains sluggish. We urgently need to accelerate the UK’s decarbonisation efforts. Thankfully, government schemes offer substantial support, covering initial costs entirely for eligible customers or providing up to £7,500 toward installation expenses.

In conclusion, heat pumps offer an efficient and affordable solution to decarbonising UK homes. By future-proofing your home today, you not only contribute to a sustainable future but also reap the rewards of lower energy bills and enhanced comfort. It’s time to embrace the power of air and pave the way for a greener tomorrow

Couldn't have wanted a better experience.

From start to finish, I have had many chances to see a professional company at work. Communication was spot on, calls and emails to update me at every step of the way. The attention to detail in the survey was pretty eye opening and took the lad a...long time to get all the information they needed. They arranged the power supply upgrade with the the power company and the day it was commissioned, they had dates in place to do the air source heat pump, panels and insulation's. The installers were knowledgeable , professional and nice. Felt at ease and safe knowing they were on top of it all, Brian and Chris were exemplary. (Maybe not the best singers, but at least their radio station choice was good). Every thought, adaption and problem solving moment was fully discussed, explained and implemented by these guys. Couldn't have wanted a better experience. Good on them, you won't go wrong using these guys.Read More

Very Knowledgeable

Dave from Warmer Energy Solutions visited us today to carry out the initial survey for installing Air source heating under ECO4. Unlike other companies that have visited, he was clearly very knowledgeable about everything and explained what would be involved in fitting the system. Details of pipes, tanks, where...things would have to go and the implications/problems of putting them there. His honest approach has enabled us to make an informed decision on how to proceed. We are very grateful. ThankyouRead More

Eco Friendly and Fabulous System

So I wasn't sure when this company reached out to me if they were legit! In fact I'd registered for the government eco green grant and this was the company pulling it all together for Eon. After asking them about a billion questions and (bless them) they calmly and diligently...explained about the funding, heat pumps, hybrids, grants and everything that goes with it, I now have a MUCH more eco friendly and fabulous system installed in my property thanks to these guys!

Above & Beyond

Ever agreed to something not fully understand it that was me a month ago . From the surveyor coming out to the system getting approved and fitted it only took two weeks. The plumbers who came out to do the system I can't speak highly enough of them (Mike and...Eddy) both boys went above and beyond what they needed to especially taking care that my 80 year old mother was warm enough during the installation.Read More

Just had a full installation of complete new system. An air source heat pump along with new radiators and pipework. Everyone involved were fantastic from start to finish. The install team were pleasant and hard working. I was really worried about getting this done as I knew it would...be a big upheaval but it was totally worth it. My house has never been warmer.
