Heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from the outside to the inside of a house, resulting in no emissions from heating in your home. Electricity is becoming greener in the UK; the UK has seen a 70% reduction in the carbon intensity of electricity in the past decade due to investment in renewable energy. So already today, heat pumps save 70% in carbon emissions, and are expected to become even greener as the grid continues to transition to renewable sources.

Heat pumps have been in existence for over a century, with the first one invented in the 1850s. However, they only gained popularity for residential use in the mid-20th century. Currently, heat pumps are widely used for heating in colder European climates, with increasing adoption in the UK and other countries to address environmental concerns and increase energy efficiency.

Heat pumps have been found to be effective in most of London homes. Very likely, we have installed heat pumps in very similar homes to yours, and can share real-world experience in how the system work in a home just like yours.

Heat pumps are much more efficient than gas boilers because they transfer heat rather than generate it. By comparing electricity and gas prices, it is possible to save money by using a heat pump for heating. As reliance on foreign gas increases and the supply of cheap domestic renewable electricity grows, gas prices are likely to increase more than electricity prices in the future, leading to even greater savings with a heat pump. Additionally, the ability to integrate with solar, and battery will allow you to not only make use of your self-generate electricity, but also leverage off-peak tariffs.
