6 Very Good Reasons to Upgrade from Oil to an Air Source Heat Pump

1. OFGEM will pay you up to £12,000 over 7 years in quarterly RHI payments to do it!
2. Save 20-40% on your yearly oil bill!
3. Never run out of oil again!
4. Say good-bye to forking out a big chunk of cash for a tank of oil when you least expect it!
5. Get rid of the oil tank and free up space in the garden!
6. No more stinky oil fumes!

Replacing your oil boiler

If your existing oil boiler is on its last legs, or has broken down for the last time, you’ve essentially got 3 choices:

1. Try and repair it, again
2. Get a new oil boiler
3. Change to an Air Source Heat Pump

The first 2 choices are not financially good choices. You know if you get the boiler repaired it will break down again at some point. And until it does, it will probably be fairly inefficient, costing you a lot more in oil than it needs to. So, you may feel like the obvious choice is to replace it with a nice, super-efficient, new oil boiler? Sticking with what you know is tempting in these situations, but better options are now available to you, so it’s worth exploring them.

Sounds tempting, but how much is it going to cost me?

Ultimately the installation of an Air Source Heat Pump will cost you nothing due to the RHI payments and the savings you’ll make on what you’d otherwise spend on oil – On that basis alone it wins hands down compared to installing a new boiler! There is of course an upfront cost to installing an Air Source Heat Pump system, and it’s important to remember that it’s a complete central heating and hot water system upgrade, rather than just a boiler swap.

A complete central heating system upgrade with an Air Source Heat Pump can start from around £9,000 for a small property, £12,000 for a medium sized house, £15,000+ for a large house.
