Record numbers of people in the UK are making the transition to air and ground source heat pumps.

Samsung is a brand with instant name recognition. As you might expect, their heat pumps meet the same high standards as their other technology.

Worried that an older property isn’t suitable for heat pumps? Or want to know more about the grants available for this technology?

Alto Energy is ready to answer any questions you have about this technology. As experienced suppliers of heat pumps, we have an in-depth knowledge of this technology and what the installation process involves.

In the quest for sustainable and efficient heating solutions, Alto Energy Limited stands out as a leading provider in the UK market.

According to recent research, 56% of UK builders aren’t able to advise on heat pumps. You might find it difficult to know where to turn if seeking information on this technology, including how much it costs.

Heat pumps have been the norm in countries like Scandinavia for many years. However, they’re still not prevalent in the UK.

With freezing temperatures on the way, most of us have our central heating working overtime. You might have noticed a steep rise in your energy bills and are investigating ways to lower the costs of running your home in the future. 

With energy bills rising by 5% as the price cap increases, you might be looking at alternative ways to heat your home in the future. 

Heat pump technology has come a long way in the past 20 years, with newer heat pumps much more efficient. In particular, they’re able to provide much higher temperatures than before.

This year, the heat pump grant scheme received a £1.5 billion funding boost, making it easier for households to get rid of their gas boiler.

Heat pumps are important for lowering our energy costs and reducing pollution. They’re also vital for the government’s plans to meet net zero targets. 

With winter having well and truly arrived, many are worrying about how much their heating bills will cost. Heat pumps are one of the leading alternatives to traditional gas boilers. Not only more affordable to run, they’re also more energy efficient. 

It’s an excellent time to look closer at heat pumps and wave goodbye to your gas boiler for good, especially since there’s now more financial support available. 

Heating our homes contributes around 14% of the UK's carbon emissions, which is a significant amount. Consequently,  the government is encouraging homeowners and businesses to choose heat pumps to replace gas and oil boilers.

This month, the government has made a number of changes to its approach to net zero. 

The good news is that the grants for heat pumps are being increased. From 23 October 2023, the grants will increase from £5,000 (for air source) and £6,000 (for ground source) to £7,500.

Need a more environmentally-friendly source of heat?

Air source heat pumps are the type of heat pump most commonly installed in the UK. 

Did you know, the UK government has committed to installing 60,000 heat pumps by 2028?

More people in the UK are turning to renewable energy in the wake of high energy prices. In particular, solar panels and heat pumps are increasingly popular.

Every other day there’s new stories about the impact of climate change. Although the weather has been lackluster in Britain, this summer has been another record-breaking year in terms of high temperatures elsewhere in the world.

According to the International Energy Agency, the efficiency of heat pumps is around 3-5 times better than that of gas boilers. Ground source heat pumps in particular tend to be extremely efficient, both when it comes to reliability and their energy-efficiency ratings.

Created for property owners, The Boiler Upgrade Scheme aims to support the decarbonisation of heat in buildings in England and Wales.
