Air source heat pumps

Air source heat pumps produce three kilowatts of heat for every one kilowatt of electricity consumed.

This is more than 3 times as efficent compared with traditional heating systems where for every kilowatt consumed you get less than one back.

Renewable Heat Incentive

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a long-term financial support programme for renewable heat.  The scheme helps the UK meet targets to reduce fossil fuel use and combat climate change.

People who join the scheme receive quarterly payments for seven years for the amount of clean, green renewable heat it’s estimated their system produces.

The scheme runs in two parts, Domestic (homeowners, private landlords, social landlords and self-builders) and Non-domestic (industry, businesses and public sector organisations).

Energy cost savings

To give you an idea of the potential savings with an air source heat pump installed in a domestic situation lets look at an average well-insulated two-bedroom semi-detached house.

The cost of installing an air source heat pump is around £10,000. This can be covered by an interest free government loan.

If your home runs on oil or LPG, savings per year could be around £600.  If your home runs an electric heating systems the saving is even more - up to £1,500 per year.

The RHI payments could be up to £2,040 per year (for the annual maximum of 20,000 kilowatt-hours) for the seven-year period the agreement runs.

So over the seven year period the RHI agreement runs, this gives a potential RHI income of £14,280 and a saving on heating bills of up to £10,500. Plus ongoing savings indefinitely thereafter.

For commercial installations, the RHI is set up over a 20 year period, with a lower per kilowatt-hour tariff.
