Making the transition from oil heating to an Air Source Pump

Why make the switch from oil to an Air Source Heat Pump?

With fluctuating energy costs and the prospect of the proposed 2026 off-gas-grid oil boiler ban, more and more homeowners are looking for an alternative way to heat their homes.

Making the switch from heating oil or other fuels such as gas, coal or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) , to a greener choice is an upgrade that comes with multiple benefits.

Here are several reasons why you might consider an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) for your home heating:

Save money on your heating costs 

When you upgrade from oil to a heat pump, not only are you taking real steps towards a net zero home, but you could also reduce your household bills.

Air source heat pumps are up to 4 times more efficient than a gas or oil boiler. Potentially saving your annual household outgoings.

Take control of your home comforts

A heat pump offers you a fully controllable heating system to keep your home warm and cosy with the hot water that you need, no matter the weather or having to worry about supplies or delivery.

And with smart controls at your fingertips, you’re in complete command of your home’s temperature and energy usage.

Be clean, green and sustainable

With the government planning to ban gas boilers in all new build properties from 2025 and the oil boiler ban in 2026, there’s never been a better time to get ahead of the curve.

An Air Source Heat Pump will ensure your home uses renewable and environmentally friendly energy.

Do air source heat pumps really save money?

When you make the switch from oil, there can be considerable savings to be had. The extent of this will depend on various factors such as your existing oil costs, your electricity costs, your central heating system and the extent to which your home is insulated.

One of the best benefits of an air source heat pump is being free from the fluctuations in the price of oil, or the need to buy oil in bulk to heat your home.

Additionally, you could also be eligible for a £5000 grant for your Air Source Heat Pump system via the government Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

Looking longer term too, our heat pumps have a 15-year life span, meaning replacement and associated stress can be put to the back of your mind.
