Many homeowners are turning to heat pumps to reduce their energy bills and carbon emissions. Despite initial concerns, experts and satisfied customers alike report that heat pumps can be effective even in old, larger, or harder-to-heat homes. The technology uses ambient heat from the air or ground to provide heating and hot water. Experts advise that heat loss calculations are crucial to making informed decisions about installation. Several homeowners, including a retired GP and a renovator, have reported successful experiences with heat pumps, citing energy savings and reduced carbon footprint. Heat pumps can work in properties with double glazing and reasonable insulation, and a demonstration project led by Energy Systems Catapult found that heat pumps can be successfully installed in all types of homes, including those over 100 years old. While the upfront cost can be intimidating, the potential long-term benefits and rewards make the investment worth it for many homeowners. As one satisfied customer puts it, “there’s only one answer – get a heat pump.”
With our heat pump installed, our home is now cozier and our electricity bills have significantly decreased.
