The government Boiler Upgrade Scheme has now increased the grant for air source heat pumps from £5,000 to £7,500 and as Total Energy Services are MCS certified we can offer this grant to all our customers plus pay no VAT.
Did you know that 22% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from our homes! The biggest source of this is from our heating system, around 30%. In fact our home heating has a bigger impact on the environment than your car, your holidays and your waste! Which is really quite shocking.
In the UK 85% of our homes are heated by gas and around 4% are heated by oil fired boilers. Therefore, in order to lower our carbon emissions we need to re consider how we heat our homes – all 26 million of them!
Heat pumps along with hydrogen boilers, HVO boilers and hybrid systems are likely to be the future of domestic heating within the UK.

Heat pumps can be extremely efficient. By replacing an inefficient oil boiler with an air source heat pump you could reduce your homes carbon footprint by over 4 tonnes each year!
A heat pump is a very long lasting low carbon heating system – you can often expect a heat pump to last over 20 years!
Heat pumps take the majority of their energy to run from the outside air, using only a small amount of electricity.
Our expert surveyors have a bespoke approach to heat pumps, as we understand everyone’s home is unique. We know that not every property is suitable for a heat pump and can outline all the options available being realistic about costings and any disruption that may need to take place.
An air source heat pump takes thermal energy from the air along with a small amount of electricity which is transferred to energy to provide heat and hot water for your home. If you require a more detailed explanation please get in touch.
The majority (around 70%/80%) of power required by a heat pump is taken from the outside air – therefore this is completely renewable the remaining 20% or so is required to be powered by electricity. This may seem odd but it is all based on physics.
Changing from a gas fired heating system to a heat pump is a big decision for anyone to consider. We are here to ensure you have a thorough and clear picture of what both types of heating could look like for your home.
You may need to improve your homes insulation prior to having a heat pump installed, your expert renewable assessor will go through any insulation measures you may require. For example you may need to increase the size of your radiators.
The way a heat pump works is very different from a boiler and therefore it is important that you conduct thorough research and use a qualified and trusted MCS company to assist you with the design and installation of any renewable technology.
A lot of the success of the heat pump lies in the design of the system and the thermal efficiency of your home. As heat pumps run off a lower water temperature, avoiding heat loss is crucial its success.
Without adequate insulation measures to minimise heat loss, a heat pump may struggle to be particularly suitable and efficient and may turn out costly to run. A correctly designed and specified heat pump system is crucial to the success of this heating system.
Having detailed energy efficiency survey from an experienced surveyor prior to having a heat pump installed, is highly recommended.
Heat pump prices really vary depending on the property type and size. Your home may need insulation improvements for the heat pump to be efficient such as having larger radiators. Therefore if you would like to find out how much a heat pump costs it is best to book a survey where a heat pump specialist can run through the costs involved. As Total Energy Services are MCS certified we can obtain the £7,500 Government Grant on your behalf.
Heat pumps are extremely efficient. To compare the average boiler is around 93% efficient where as the Daikin heat pump reaches 360% efficiency.
Heat pumps only use a small electricity to run.
If your heat pump is installed correctly it can be expected to last over 20 years.
Depending on your existing heating system you could save 4 tonnes of carbon a year!
