Tackling rising energy costs
As the weather warms and the sun finally shows its face, it would be easy to put rising energy costs to one side and to bask in the fact we can turn our thermostats down.
However recent events have led many to wonder what can they do over the summer to cushion the blow when the cold weather returns. Instead of just hoping for more reasonable fuel costs, many homeowners are making the pivot away from gas, to electrical heating systems which can be powered by renewables rather than imported gas or oil. If that sounds appealing but you don’t know where to start, you are not alone and Heat Horizons has the expertise to help you make the transition to a more sustainable heating solution for your home.
Heat Horizons offers solutions that are tailored to fit any property so, if you are a homeowner, we can find a system that suits your needs. With our Battery-Buffered Heat Pump, we give households the opportunity to store energy for use when it’s most needed and, paired with solar panels and home batteries it provides much-needed independence from rising bills and unpredictable markets while contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
A gas boiler is unlikely to pay for itself, but on average a heat pump and renewable energy solution (including battery) will pay for itself within 5 years (from savings made) compared to oil based heating systems.
With the Government grant of £7,500 towards the price of a heat pump, the cost to move to a renewable energy solution could be the same as buying a new boiler for an average, modern, three bedroom home in the UK. On top of this, many of our customers see energy bill savings of between 30 and 50% per annum (sometimes more if they have replaced an oil burner) and there’s the opportunity to sell energy back to the grid for those who have installed a battery and solar panels making it possible to strive for net zero heating bills. Significant savings to be achieved from a number of avenues.
