Energy Efficient Heating Systems
Upgrading to an energy-efficient boiler or a renewable energy system powered by low-carbon fuel is one of the most effective ways to reduce both your energy bills and carbon emissions. In a typical home, more than half of your energy costs go towards heating and hot water. By installing a more efficient system, you can cut costs while lowering your environmental impact.
Aran can help you upgrade your home to be warmer, more energy-efficient, and more affordable to heat. With our expert advice, you can choose the right solution for your property, take advantage of government-backed grant schemes, and enjoy reliable, year-round comfort at lower running costs.
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Air source heat pumps (ASHP) extract heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home’s water or heating system.
For maximum efficiency, it’s important that your home is well insulated. Measures such as cavity wall and loft insulation help reduce heat loss and ensure your air source heat pump performs at its best.
The UK Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants of up to £7,500 (as of March 2024) to households in England and Wales, helping homeowners replace traditional heating systems with low-carbon alternatives such as air source or ground source heat pumps.
High Heat Retention Electric Storage Heaters (HHRESH)
Electric storage heaters offer a cost-effective alternative to standard electric heaters by taking advantage of the Economy 7 tariff, which provides cheaper off-peak electricity. These heaters store energy overnight and gradually release heat throughout the day, helping to reduce your energy costs while keeping your home warm.
Gas Condensing Boilers
Installing a new energy-efficient boiler is an effective way to lower your energy bills. If your home relies on gas fires, room heaters, or open fires, upgrading to a full central heating system—which includes a boiler, radiators, a programmer, and thermostatic radiator controls—will make your home easier to heat and more cost-effective to run.
Modern condensing boilers are particularly efficient due to their larger heat exchangers, which capture more heat. Upgrading to a condensing boiler can help you save on energy bills, enjoy more efficient heating, reduce your carbon footprint, and improve your home’s overall energy performance rating.
