Heat Pumps

SAVE £5,000

To ensure air source heat pumps are more affordable, the Government has launched the Boiler Upgrade Scheme which gives you £5,000 off the cost of a renewable heating solution.

As an accredited MCS installer, we can fill out the paperwork and deduct £5,000 off your GEC Power quotation.

The benefits of installing solar panels & battery storage at home

It is possible to heat your home without the need of a gas-powered boiler. Air source heat pumps are a clean, green, renewable energy solution using air rather than using fuel from other sources.

A renewable energy source, heat pumps don’t emit any greenhouse gases or other air pollutants, which doesn’t only bring down the cost of your energy bills – it reduces the carbon footprint of your household.

The simplest way to understand how a heat pump works, is to think of your household fridge – but in reverse. Your fridge extracts warm air and cools it so your fridge stays fresh; heat pumps extract external air and warms it through to heat your home and hot water.

A clean source of energy, for every one kilowatt of electricity used you will enjoy up to four kilowatts of heat.

As it is a very sustainable source, you can benefit from an air source heat pump for years to come. Even if you sell your home, house-hunters are increasingly seeking cleaner, more sustainable homes and so heat pumps are much more appealing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the heat pump still work on really cold days?

Yes of course – heat pumps can generate heat from external air, even when temperatures are as low as -27C.

Are heat pumps easy to control?

They are – but don’t worry, GEC Power will walk you through everything you need to know following the installation. Heat pumps tend to work best when they are set to an ambient temperature throughout the day. Of course, heating controls are provided and the heat pump will connect to your thermostat.

Am I eligible for a grant?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has replaced the Green Homes Grant. Under the scheme, homeowners can receive a grant of £5,000 to reduce the cost of your heat pump installation.

What do I need to consider before installation?

Installing an air source heat pump requires a lot of work. You must be aware there will be some slight disruption to your property for a couple of days while we swap your old boiler out and install a hot water cylinder. Should any piping or radiators need upgrading, we will also carry this out.

You’ll also need a small amount of outdoor space, which can house the air source heat pump.

But don’t worry – our team can go through everything with you when we carry out our initial assessments of your property.

Do I buy out-right, or do you offer finance options?

GEC power work to make life easier for you. You can purchase a new air source heat pump out-right as part of an ‘able-to-pay’ package, or take out a finance option to breakdown the cost into manageable monthly payments. Talk to us to find out more.
