Thanks to the latest heatwave, we don’t currently have to worry about the cost of heating our homes. However, you might be dreading the return of winter. 

In the battle to reduce carbon emissions in this country air source and ground source heat pumps play a big role.

If you want to future-proof your home heating system, air source heat pumps are one of the best alternatives to gas boilers.

Thanks to the cost of living crisis and rising inflation, millions of people are feeling the squeeze at the moment. It might not seem a good time to invest in heat pumps, particularly for homeowners. 

Alto Energy Limited supplies and installs heat pumps from numerous top brands, including Mitsubishi, Samsung, and IVT by Bosch. 

Before applying for a grant to upgrade your boiler, it’s important to check if your property is suitable for this type of system.

Ideal for heating all kinds of buildings, air source heat pumps are the most popular type of heat pump on the market.

Heat pumps are highly efficient and reliable, so they are considered key to cutting carbon emissions. However, as you’re probably aware, the initial cost of buying heat pumps and having them fitted isn’t cheap.

With the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you can get a grant that covers part of the cost of replacing your fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump.

The number of heat pumps installed increased all over the world last year, including in the UK. Nonetheless, 74% of households are still heating their homes using gas boilers. This means the heating sector accounts for a third of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the biggest factors that prevents people installing heat pumps is the price. Many customers worry that they will be prohibitively expensive. However, thanks to the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), switching to heat pumps is much more affordable than you might imagine. 

Although air source heat pumps are more common, ground source heat pumps offer many benefits. 

High gas prices are leading to more people investigating alternative heating systems.

No matter if you’re building a new property or renovating an existing building, Alto Energy Limited helps you create energy-efficient homes and businesses that cost much less to run.

Heat pump installations in the UK are still lower than in other European countries. However, with gas and electricity bills rising, more people are investigating this type of technology.

Ground source heat pumps offer many advantages, including the fact they comply with building regulations, reduce your carbon footprint, and reduce heating costs.

With COP 27 taking place this week, it’s a reminder of the importance of meeting our carbon zero aims.

Cleaner and cheaper methods for heating homes and businesses have never been more important.

Alto Energy Limited is not only leading suppliers and installers of heat pump technology. You’ll also find a wealth of information on heat pumps on our website.

Although heat pumps offer a wealth of advantages, they’re often dismissed as too expensive, particularly by homeowners. However, there are grants available to make them more accessible.
