Whilst as a company, Total Home Environment are no longer MCS certified or specifying air-source heat pumps, please find below some useful information to help you make the right heating choice for you and your home.

SAVE money on running costs Air-source heat pumps can reduce your running costs by up to 30% compared to a standard gas boiler system due to its exceptional efficiency. It is 350% efficient ie you put 1kW of electricity in, you could receive 3.5kW of energy out!. Gas, the highest performing fossil fuel, compares poorly at only 93% efficiency - ie you put 1kW of energy in and you'll only get 0.9kW of energy out!
HIGH seasonal COP Air-source heat pumps are proven to optimise heating performances at the temperature of -2 degrees C to 2 degrees C, providing an outstanding SCOP in compliance with eco-design directives.
FEWER CO₂ emissions Air-source heat pumps have substantially reduced CO₂ emissions compared to conventional boiler systems due to high efficiency heat pump technology.
MONEY back with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) Air-source heat pumps are eligible for the BUS whether you have an existing boiler you are replacing or if you are building your own home and want to install a low energy heating system. The government will provide £7,500 to overcome the upfront costs of installing an air-source heat pump! See the dedicated Boiler Upgrade Scheme page to the left for more info.
NO GAS in the village? No problem! An air-source heat pump just needs air and electricity to provide all your heating needs! For independent advice on heat pumps and the latest news of available grants, visit the Energy Saving Trust.
