Is a heat pump right for my home?
This depends on a few things. Heat pumps work best in well-insulated homes, so it’s best to check this out before you start thinking about getting a heat pump. An easy way to do this is to find out your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. If yours is a D or above and it says you have insulation, you should be good to go.
Most heat pumps use radiators to heat your home, just like boilers do. Sometimes, your existing radiators might be too small for a heat pump to work efficiently and will need replacing, but this isn’t always the case. A heat pump usually works well with existing underfloor heating too.
You’ll need some outside space for most heat pumps though. Around the size of a moped is usually enough for an air source heat pump. Ground source heat pumps take up more space than that, as they usually need a trench or borehole digging, plus a room inside for the operating system.
Home energy grants and schemes
Help is available if you’re planning on upgrading or replacing your heating system with a new low-carbon one. But it’s different depending on where you live in the UK.
England and Wales:
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers grants of up to £7,500 to replace gas, oil, and electric boilers and heating systems with lower carbon alternatives, including heat pumps and biomass boilers. Homes must meet certain EPC standards and other conditions to qualify. In Wales, the Nest scheme helps lower income families make their homes more energy-efficient and better at saving water.
Scotland:
Home Energy Scotland offers grants worth up to £10,000 for energy-saving home improvements, like heating and insulation through the Warmer Homes Scotland programme. The scheme is funded by the Scottish Government to carry out improvements, such as wall and loft insulation, draught proofing, new boilers, and renewable energy projects with the aim of making homes warmer and cutting domestic energy bills.
