Due to climate change, the UK government aims to drastically reduce carbon emissions, and hopes to wean UK homes and all buildings off traditional fuels by 2035, phasing out the installation of existing gas-fired boilers and introducing a £450 million boiler upgrade Plan to provide certain subsidies for every British family so that everyone can afford the use of new energy.
For the old house system that generally uses gas-fired boilers for heating, in the boiler upgrade scheme, will you continue to choose a new boiler system, or choose a heat pump system to replace the old gas-fired boiler system?
When choosing a boiler replacement plan, people may worry about transforming the old boiler system into a heat pump system, which needs to replace the entire system, which is expensive, or worry about the poor heating efficiency of the air source heat pump system, so they choose to replace the old gas boiler system with new boiler system recommended on the market.
But the service life of the boiler is about 10 years, which means that every 10 years or so, it is necessary to find a suitable boiler company to replace the system, and the investment cost is not low. In addition, will the new boiler system be better and more energy-efficient than the air source heat pump system?
Boiler investment cost:
New system boilers typically cost between £1,600 and £3,600 (depending on brand, model and cost of installation)
The investment cost of the air source heat pump:
The air source heat pump is a renewable energy heating and cooling device. Its working principle is the opposite of that of an air conditioner. It only needs a small amount of electricity to drive the compressor to absorb and transfer the free energy heat of nature to the room. Using the same amount of electricity, a heat pump can produce up to four times as much heat as a resistive heater. Compared to boilers, most older boilers operate at about 50% to 75% efficiency, while high-efficiency air source heat pumps can be as high as 300% efficient. Therefore, in long-term use, air source heat pumps can save considerable energy costs.
How much does an air source heat pump cost independently?
Take POOL WORLD household common model 8KW~30KW air-to-water heat pump as an example, the cost of the heat pump is between £900-£2,500, and it has the MCS certificate, and can apply for heat pump subsidies in the UK.
In addition, for old houses with boiler systems, POOL WORLD's R32 hybrid heat pump is compatible with boiler systems and photovoltaic systems, can be connected to smart grids, and has a newly upgraded energy consumption management function that can record daily/weekly/monthly operation and energy consumption data. Users can combine the energy consumption data to customize the running time and mode of the heat pump according to the grid situation and actual needs, make full use of photovoltaic energy storage and cheap electricity, and let the heat pump unit serve your family stably for 24 hours, which can greatly reduce energy costs for users.
