Zero carbon heating. Help the planet while warming your home.

We're committed to helping Britain reach net zero by 2050. Find out how you can join us in our mission.

How to turn your home into an energy saving machine

Did you know that you can lose 33% of heat out of the walls of a home with no insulation? And 25% through the roof?(1) Making the transition to your zero carbon future is a two-step process. First comes insulation.

Insulation - save up to £530 a year(2)

Heat can easily escape from homes without proper insulation. Adding insulation to your loft, walls, or floor is quick and easy. You can:

Get professionally installed insulation from £800. You may also be able to get insulation for free with the ECO scheme
Waste less energy and lower your home's carbon emissions
Prevent damp and mildew from developing in your home

Now it's insulated, what next?

Electric heating can reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint. When compared to a gas boiler, an air source heat pump for the average family home saves as much carbon a year as 5 return flights from London to Madrid.(3)

Air source heat pumps -Typically save £1,597 over 10 years(4)

An air source heat pump works like a fridge, only in reverse. It absorbs heat from outside air and circulates it through your heating system.

You could claim £7,574 back from the government's Renewable Heat Incentive.(5)
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.(6)

Storage heaters - save up to £390 a year(7)

The Dimplem Quantum is a 'smart' high-heat retention storage heater. It delivers heat only when it's needed, so no energy or money is wasted. It's quick and easy to install.

Up to 10 years manufacturer's warranty.(8)
Simpler to install than gas central heating as there’s no need for a gas boiler, pipework or flue
Up to 27% cheaper to run than a standard storage heater(9)

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

Amy Ahmed-Dolphin, Rowington, Warwickshire

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.

Peter Corkill, Canterbury, Kent

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.

Heathrow to Madrid, Spain is 1243 km one way.
BEIS - UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2020 - Air Travel with RF factor included states 0.378394 tonnes of CO₂ per economy passenger for a return flight.
The carbon difference between a heat pump and boiler is calculated as:
A - 13,903 kWh of energy demand for heating and hot water
B - 3.48 heat pump designed efficiency
C - new boiler efficiency of 93%
D - Gas fuel emissions of 208 gCO₂/kWh
E - Electricity fuel emissions of 277 gCO₂/kWh
Gas CO₂ = (A/C*D) = 3.11 tonnes
Electricity CO₂ = (A/B*E) = 1.11 tonnes
1-(1.11)/(3.11) = 64%
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)
Based on a 13,903 kWh heat demand and an assumed maximum efficiency of 3.48 (SCOP) will be eligible for 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.
Annual savings based on 3 bedroom, semi-detached home, of approx. 125m² and Energy Savings Trusts average UK electricity tariff rates. Electricity kWh usage for Dimplex Quantum and equivalent manual static storage systems are derived from SAP 2012 calculations and an independent report commissioned by Dimplex in 2014

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 into 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 29.4%. 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.
