If you are considering investing in a heat pump, you should think about the expected savings in energy costs, versus the up front investment in the heat pump and the collector (the system that collects the thermal energy from the ground). Better Planet will help you calculate how much you can save and the estimated pay back time for the investment. The payback time can vary and depend on the configuration of your system, energy prices and available grants. In any case, you should take a long term view on a heat pump installation. The normal life of a heat pump is around 20 years and the life time of the collector system is much longer than that. A heat pump gives the most efficient form of renewable energy for heating your property during the cold seasons.
Why invest in a heat pump?
1. You will get at least 2/3 of your heating energy from the ground outside
2. By installing a modern environmentally friendly heating system, you are adding value to your property
3. You will contribute to a better planet by a significant reduction of carbon emissions
4. Virtually maintenance free and will give you a stable and controllable indoor temperature
5. Can be used in the summer to air condition your home
