What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
Air Source Heat Pumps are the most common type of heat pump. They use electricity to absorb heat from the outside air, providing both hot water and central heating for your home in Clackmannanshire. The refrigerant in the system can absorb warmth, which is effectively converted into gas at very low temperatures, below -50°C.
Once the gas is compressed, it heats up and circulates through your central heating system and hot water supply. Additionally, you can use a hot water cylinder to store any excess hot water. This makes ASHPs a highly sustainable heating solution, helping you save on energy bills.
With grants of up to £7,500 available through the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme, along with the option of an additional £7,500 in an interest-free loan, now is a great time to invest in a cleaner heating solution. Get your free ASHP quote today!
Air Source Heat Pumps vs Boilers: A Comparison
Boilers have been a staple of central heating in the UK for decades. However, with the recent surge in gas prices and the anticipated decrease in electricity costs, Air Source Heat Pumps are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners.
Let’s look at the numbers:
All new boilers in the UK must have an efficiency rating of at least 90%, which means only about 10% of energy is wasted. In contrast, older boilers may have efficiencies as low as 70%, resulting in a loss of 30%, or 30p for every £1 spent. On the other hand, typical ASHPs boast an impressive efficiency of around 300%, meaning that for every £1 spent, homeowners receive £3 worth of heat.
This significant difference is one of the key reasons why Air Source Heat Pumps are gaining popularity in Clackmannanshire and Scotland as a whole.
