Why More Homeowners in Kent Are Switching to Air Source Heat Pumps
With energy prices rising and the push for greener homes, more people in Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, and surrounding areas are upgrading to Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP).
These modern heating systems can cut your heating bills by up to 70%, qualify for £7,500 government grants, and work even in freezing temperatures—making them a smart investment for the future.
But are they right for your home? Let’s break down why heat pumps are the future of home heating and how much you can save.
🔥 What Is an Air Source Heat Pump & How Does It Work?
An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a high-efficiency heating system that absorbs heat from the air outside—even in temperatures as low as -15°C. It then transfers this heat into your home to provide heating and hot water.
📌 Why homeowners are choosing ASHP over gas boilers:
✅ Lower heating costs – Uses less energy than traditional gas boilers.
✅ Works in cold weather – Extracts heat even in sub-zero temperatures.
✅ Eco-friendly – Reduces carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels.
✅ Low maintenance – Lifespan of 20+ years with minimal servicing.
✅ Government grants available – Up to £7,500 funding for eligible homes.
Unlike gas boilers, which burn fuel to create heat, ASHP systems simply transfer heat, making them up to 400% more efficient than conventional heating systems.
💰 How Much Can You Save With an Air Source Heat Pump?
One of the biggest advantages of heat pumps is their cost savings over time. Here’s how they compare to gas boilers:
📌 Additional Financial Benefits:
✔ £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme Grant (reduces installation costs).
✔ Lower energy bills (especially in well-insulated homes).
✔ Increases property value – More buyers look for energy-efficient homes.
✔ Future-proof against rising gas prices & government bans on gas boilers.
💡 Did You Know? By 2035, the UK government plans to phase out gas boilers—meaning heat pumps will be the future of home heating.
🏡 Is an Air Source Heat Pump Right for Your Home?
Air Source Heat Pumps work best in well-insulated homes and are ideal for:
✅ Homeowners upgrading their heating system.
✅ Properties with large radiators or underfloor heating.
✅ People looking to cut long-term heating costs.
✅ Homes that qualify for government funding.
