Oil Boiler Central Heating Systems Vs Air Source Heat Pumps

!: Oil Boiler Central Heating Systems Vs Air Source Heat Pumps

It's the harshest winter season we've had in a long time. Many heating bills will be a lot higher than previous years and money which should be spent on more enjoyable things is having to be used to keep the house warm. There is a way to reduce electricity bills as well as be more energy efficient? Rather than using conventional oil boilers which rely on expensive fossil fuels to run, there is another, greener more economical heating system that suits the UK climate - Air Source Heat Pumps.

Standard oil boilers are renowned for being expensive and damaging to the environment. Oil fired boilers can provide a consistent flow rate which is similar to that of a traditional gas boiler, providing a continuous hot water supply on demand. However this is the standalone positive for this type of heat source. Oil boilers rely entirely on a environmentally damaging fossil fuel in order to run effectively. In a time when environmental friendliness has become one of humanity's highest priorities, this simply isn't good enough.

A far more positive green solutions is to use an Ecodan Air Source Heat pump. Similar to solar heating, the pump works by using the solar energy in the air to produce hot water, supplying the entire household with as much heat as necessary. Furthermore, the pump can be placed discreetly outside your house, causing little intrusion as it gathers the necessary solar heating energy required to heat your home. The benefits of this new heating method are abundant.

Heating bills will be reduced by 40%. That's a lot of money being saved when you consider the price of a standard winter bill. The pump provides a consistent supply of hot water at 55oC - a warmer temperature than that of an average bath. More importantly, however, your home's CO2 emissions will be cut in half. That's right - up to 50% of your carbon emissions will be gone. If we think about how much that can do for the environment, it's certainly a considerable option. Not only that, it's necessary for a sustainable, low carbon future that we must all work towards reaching. So if you are looking for a cost efficient, eco-friendly, alternative central heating system available to domestic homeowners, then look no further than the air source heating technology.
