Exploring Air Source Heat Pumps and BUS Scheme


Air Source Heat Pumps

An air source heat pump is a system that uses an outdoor unit to draw in air, extract heat from it, then release that heat into a home or building for heating or hot water. The system works by collecting thermal energy from the outside air and transferring it inside via a compressor. This means that less energy is used overall, resulting in lower running costs and lower carbon emissions. Additionally, air source heat pumps are typically easier to install than traditional heating systems and require minimal maintenance, making them an attractive option for businesses and Families looking to reduce their carbon footprint while saving money on energy bills.

Business Energy Savings Scheme (BUS)

The Business Energy Savings Scheme (BUS) is designed to help businesses and Families lower their energy bills by providing access to grants that cover up to £5,000 of the cost of installing approved energy-saving technologies such as air source heat pumps. The scheme is available to all properties as long as this is the only heating source in the property. It's important to note, however, that certain criteria must be met in order for businesses and families to qualify for grant funding. These include meeting minimum standards for energy efficiency. 

Conclusion

Overall, investing in air source heat pumps and taking advantage of BUS grants can help your property become more energy efficient while also reducing costs. The process may seem overwhelming at first but with some research and guidance from experts you can find the right solution for your needs. In addition to improving your bottom line and helping reduce global emissions, investing in sustainable technology like this will demonstrate your commitment to sustainability ! So why wait?
