Air source is extremely easy to install and beats the above in terms of smooth and efficient installations. With the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) now is the best time to switch!

5 Reasons To Generate Your Own

1: Take advantage of government incentives 

The UK government are offering an incentive called The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (The Domestic RHI), this allows quarterly payments for having an air source heat pump installed.

Air source heat pumps are not only extremely highly efficient, but they also let of a lot less carbon the more conventional heating systems. Less servicing needed and save the planet.

Join the 10 Million extra housholds who will have solar installed by the end of 2020 (standard set up: 12 panels, 4kw system producing 10-15 kilowatts per day*) This will feed the average houshold useage of 8-10 kilowatts*.

How exactly do I get paid?

Under the government Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), property owners are paid quarterly a fixed rate to switch to an Air Source Heat Pump this can reach up to £1,400 P.A over a 7-year period. Much like the earlier tariff for Solar PV, this is an incentive for the UK to become more carbon neutral.

How loud is it ?

These systems are very quiet when running, the exact decibel levels for a system we supply ranges from 52-55 DB, the sound of a library is on average is 40DB so as you can imagine, not loud at all.

How long has the technology been around?

The technology is not new at all; the first heat pump was produced in 1885. Since then the technology has just increased, used more commonly in Scandinavia as they are able to withhold the – °C temperatures.

How long do they last?

The LG Therma V R32 comes with a 7-year manufacturer’s warranty. As long as you service it every year, they can last up to 20+ years.
