Zero carbon heating. Help the planet while warming your home

The first step to help you cut heat loss is to get insulation professionally installed. A typical house with no insulation will lose 33% of heat through walls and 25% through the roof(1)

Get insulation

Reduce your carbon footprint with an energy efficient home

Did you know that over the last few decades, we’ve become used to cheap and convenient heat? But according to the Committee on Climate Change, heating is responsible for almost a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions.

As Britain's biggest generator of zero carbon electricity(2), we're very much focused on achieving Net Zero and helping you lower your carbon footprint.

The future of heating is electric

We can help you replace your existing electric heating system with a more energy-efficient solution. Want to upgrade completely and invest in a zero carbon system that will keep you warm and save the planet? We can help you with the most suitable option!

Replace your old electric heating with more energy efficient electric heaters

Why upgrade to a new electric heating system?

modern electric heaters have smart controls which help you manage your energy usage around the home
no carbon dioxide output
low maintenance costs, unlike boilers
some older storage heaters may have asbestos in them
energy tariffs like Economy 7 and Economy 10 could help you pay less for your electricity – it will depend on when you use your heating

We upgraded the heaters to the Dimplex Quantum heaters and we’ve been really happy with the result. The running cost is maybe half what it was previously and they allow us to set times to heat each room independently as well as having a boost function to get heat outside of the scheduled times.

The results were instantaneous. From the very first time we turned the Dimplex heaters on, we could see the benefits they delivered.

£500 boiler cashback offer

Air source heat pumps - Enjoy reliable heating and hot water all year round

An energy-efficient air source heat pump (ASHP) works like a fridge but in reverse. It absorbs heat from the outside air and circulates it through your heating system. Air source heat pump helps you:

Lower your carbon footprint
Save energy and tonnes of carbon(3) over time
Produce 64% less carbon emissions for a gas-heated home(4)
Enjoy peace of mind - your Daikin air source heat pump is more than three and a half times more efficient than a gas boiler.(5)
Daikin are now offering £500 boiler cashback when you upgrade to one of their air source heat pumps

Find out about heat pumps

We love the Air Source Heat Pump, it provides a constant ambient comfortable temperature throughout the house. Now it’s always warm.

Anna Edwards, Bridgwater, Somerset

I am delighted with the efficiency and relatively quietness of the Air Source Heat Pump itself. It is an environmental and engineering marvel.

UK Fuel Mix disclosure information, published by Government Department BEIS, recognises electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation.

The zero-carbon electricity purchased is supplied to the National Grid. Customers receive electricity via the National Grid, not directly from zero-carbon generators.

The below table summarises zero-carbon generation by company demonstrating EDF generating 32.4%. The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.

These estimated annual savings come from the Energy Savings Trust website. They’re based on an average three-bedroom semi-detached home. If you’d like to find out more, go to energysavingtrust.org.uk.
Calculation is based on:
- Heat pump on offer is a package of 7KW air source heat pump with designed efficiency (SCOP) of 3.48, radiator upgrades, hot water tank and installation.
- Typical upfront price of £8,999 is for a 3 bedroom property in the South of the UK with annual heat demand of 13,903 kWh consumption for heating and hot water, at least 150mm insulation and built between 1960-1980.
- Our expert installer will provide a more accurate assessment of heat pump cost & savings based on your individual needs and house type
- Boiler cost of £3,324 from recent govt study where we assume a non-combi boiler of 24KW and boiler efficiency of 93%
- It does not differentiate between bedroom sizes so its an average across all property types: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/913508/cost-of-installing-heating-measures-in-domestic-properties.pdf
- Heat pump lifetime is usually 15-20 years compared to boiler of 10 years
- Energy & carbon price assumptions from https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/about-us/our-calculations
- RHI subsidy of £7,574 (based on 10.92p/kWh)
Three and a half times more efficient is based on a heat pump efficiency of 3.48 vs a gas boiler of 93% or 0.93. 3.5 x 0.93 = 3.25, which is less than 3.48.
