Funding your change to an energy-efficient heat pump
Replacing your current gas, electric or coal boiler may be cheaper than you think. Government funding is available via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), there to jump start your journey into a greener source of energy.
£7,500 Government Funding Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
The BUS scheme contributes £7500 (up front) towards the capital cost of installing a heat pump in your home and is accessible via an approved MCS installer which we’d be happy to introduce you to.
Ground Source Heating Explained
In the case of Ground Source Heat Pumps, heating uses the Earth’s stable underground temperatures to provide warmth. With Air to Water solutions as the name suggests, the ambient air outside of your property is used instead. By heating refrigerant gas, this energy is then transferred into your central heating system; an efficient and sustainable alternative, which reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Stage 1
Assessment & Planning
Full heat loss calculation and SAP report to be completed, consultation with customer to discuss where plant equipment will be located & where heat pump will be situated
Stage 2
Selecting the Right System
This includes ensuring the most efficient system is created on a property by property basis. Including any radiator upgrades or insulation improvements. Full installation quote to be issued by accredited installer
Stage 3
Preparation & Pre-Installation Work
This stage is to ensure that end users are with minimal down time on heating and hot water. Any work that can be done prior to installation and removal of old system will happen here. Including laying bases or pipework etc.
Stage 4
Installation
Where the magic happens. Brand new state of the art heating system bespoke to your property is installed (typically around 3 days for air source).
Stage 5
Commissioning & Testing
This stage is for everyone’s peace of mind. It ensures the heat pump is set up correctly in the controller, everything works without issue and there are no leaks on the system. This is also crucial for warranty works and is the perfect time for the installer to sign off and register the warranty.
Stage 6
Post Maintenance
This is usually an annual service to ensure that everything is in full working order, it also prevents any future problems keep the system regularly maintained. It is also crucial for any manufacturers warranty to stay valid. Typically you would ask your installer to carry this out for you.
Potential Savings and Environmental Impact of Heat Pumps and Solar Panels for Homeowners
Investing in renewable energy solutions like Heat Pumps and Solar Panels offers homeowners the potential for substantial savings. By switching to these eco-friendly systems, you can reduce heating and cooling costs by 20-40% and lower your electricity bills by 20-30%. These upgrades can result in total energy savings of up to 25%, providing a long term return on investment.
In addition to the financial benefits, renewable energy solutions also significantly reduce your household’s carbon footprint. Homeowners can lower CO2 emissions by 30-40%, contributing to a healthier environment while cutting energy expenses. Choosing heat pumps and solar panels is a win-win for both your wallet and the planet.
Heating and Cooling Cost Savings (20-40%)
Switching to energy efficient systems like Heat Pumps can save homeowners 20-40% on heating and cooling costs compared to traditional HVAC systems. These savings make Heat Pumps an attractive option for those looking to lower energy bills and improve efficiency in their home.
Electricity Bill Savings (20-30%)
For homeowners who install Solar Panels, typical electricity bill savings range from 20-30%. The exact savings depend on factors such as solar exposure, local electricity rates and your household’s energy consumption patterns. However, solar energy remains a highly effective way to reduce reliance on the grid and lower monthly utility costs.
Overall Energy Savings (up to 25%)
Combining energy efficient heating and cooling systems with Solar Panel installations can lead to overall energy savings of up to 25%. This estimate aligns with typical results when homeowners optimise both aspects of their energy usage, reducing costs and increasing sustainability.
CO2 Emissions Reduction (30-40%)
By upgrading to renewable energy solutions, homeowners can lower their CO2 emissions by 30-40%. This significant reduction is achieved by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. Actual emissions savings may vary based on the home’s energy efficiency and the carbon intensity of the local energy grid, but renewable energy options consistently contribute to a cleaner environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Well designed and properly installed Air Source Heat Pumps will indeed lower your energy bill. This is especially true if paired with specific tariffs which some energy providers have started to offer. Under these deals, electricity used to run your Heat Pump will be charged at a lower rate than elsewhere within your home.
Ground Source Heat Pumps tend to be more efficient than their Air Source counterparts, over the course of a year. However initial outlay is higher due to the groundwork which must be carried out (to lay the external piping). This also relies on there being an adequate amount of land outside of the property, to efficiently service the size of the building and its heating requirements.
By harnessing the power of natural sunlight, Solar Panels are a great way of lowering your carbon footprint. As well as lowering your household energy bills, Solar Panels can actually make you money too – any unused electricity which you’ve generated can be sold to the National Grid!
All of our eco-friendly energy solutions are low maintenance, with Solar Panels requiring almost none at all due to their lack of mechanical parts. Installation needs are based on the specific solutions which you choose for your home. Ground Source Heat Pumps typically take the longest amount of time to install, but depending on your property could be the most efficient solution.
Whether you’re looking to have a new Heat Pump or solar panels installed, it’s crucial that a properly qualified installation team takes on the work. From MCS registration to CoSHH and CPS certificates, installers should have been through the required training. To make sure your property is in safe hands, you can choose a team from our trusted installer partner network.
There are various forms of government funding available, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ECO4 grants. Specific schemes differ based on whether you live in England/Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Head over to our Funding Schemes page for more information.
