Top Tips for Efficient & Low Cost Heating

Whether you’re building your own home or renovating a property, heating system selection will impact your heating bills for years to come. With low running costs, minimal maintenance and a long lifetime ground source heat pumps (GSHPS) are the smart choice. And thanks to the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), you get paid for the renewable heat they generate.

With a clear case for GSHPS, Kensa Heat Pumps, Britain’s No1 ground source heat pump manufacturer, has come up with three top tips to ensure your project is suited to GSHPS. Tick all these boxes and you can benefit from this rewarding low-carbon, low-polluting renewable technology.

Top Tip #1: Increase the insulation levels in your home. Reducing your home’s heat demand with better insulation means you can opt for a smaller and cheaper heat pump and lessens the work it needs to do, all equating to far cheaper energy bills. Furthermore, the more efficient your heat pump, the more you earn through the RHI.

Top Tip #2: Strive for optimum efficiency. Selecting what heat emitters and floor covering you use, can all affect the efficiency of your GSHP system, which ultimately impacts your fuel bills. Typically, well insulated homes with underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs return the best results.
