No-one looks forward to the temperature dropping as the colder months set in, especially when it also involves energy bills skyrocketing!
The good news is, upgrading to one of the modern heating solutions we offer at Lewington’s could transform your home into an energy-efficient haven. From air source heat pumps to underfloor heating, renewable heating solutions can save you money, reduce your carbon footprint, and elevate your home comfort.
Of course, it’s also important to remember that a modern gas or oil boiler will be far more energy efficient than the one you need to replace because it’s come to the end of its life. Our knowledgeable and experienced team will be happy to discuss the pros and cons of the various systems we offer to find the best solution for you. Just call us on 01858 433333 to find out more.
Why choose sustainable modern heating solutions?
With government targets and incentives to encourage us on the path to more sustainable methods of heating our homes, renewable home heating systems are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners. Their benefits go beyond energy savings – they’re clean, cost-effective, and of course, better for the planet.
Here’s a summary of some of the sustainable systems offered by our established and trusted Lewington Renewable division.
Air source heat pumps for year-round efficiency
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air and use it to warm your home and water. The fact they can do this efficiently at temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius means they’re a viable option for reliable heating all year round.
Benefits of air source heat pumps:
- Cost-effective: the potential to lower your bills by replacing electric or gas heating
- Eco-friendly: dramatically reduce your home’s carbon emissions
- Low maintenance: minimal servicing is required for long-term efficiency
- Flexible: perfect for use with underfloor heating or traditional radiators
Tapping into the earth’s power with ground source heat pumps
If you’ve got the outdoor space needed to install the required underground system and are looking for a long-lasting and reliable heating solution, a ground source heat pump could be perfect for you. These systems use the earth’s constant underground heat to warm your home all year round via a network of pipes, buried beneath your garden.
Benefits of ground source heat pumps:
- Energy efficient: reduce your heating bills by leveraging free energy
- Sustainable performance: lower carbon emissions compared to traditional systems
- Discreet: unlike air-source systems, they don’t require any outdoor units
Homes with ample garden space are best suited for this renewable heating solution. While the initial installation involves a financial investment, you can significantly over the system’s lifespan.
Harnessing the sun with solar hot water systems
Why not make the most of the sunlight hitting your roof? Solar hot water systems turn rays into energy to heat water, reducing your reliance on your traditional heating system.
Benefits of solar hot water systems:
- Cost savings: save up to 25% of your total energy output typically used for heating water
- Eco-friendly: generate free hot water without carbon emissions
- Low maintenance: once installed, solar hot water systems are generally very reliable
Solar hot water systems work in a wide range of settings but are particularly suitable for homes with south-facing roofs.
Streamlined comfort with underfloor heating
Looking for a heating solution that’s both effective and aesthetically pleasing? Underfloor heating could be the answer. This type of system enhances your home’s aesthetic appeal by eliminating radiators. It also works particularly well with air or ground source heat pumps for even greater efficiency.
Benefits of underfloor heating:
- Energy savings: operates at lower water temperatures compared to radiators
- Comfortable luxury: provides consistent warmth underfoot
- Space-saving: no bulky radiators taking up room on your walls
This type of heating system is an excellent choice for new builds or when you’re planning a major renovation project that allows for modifications to flooring.
Take advantage of government incentives
With 0% VAT currently available on renewable heating systems and generous grants on offer for new air source heat pump and ground source heating systems, now is a great time to make the switch to a renewable heating system. The most up-to-date information on financial incentives is available on our funding page.
