Renewable Heating Options Air Source Heat Pumps These systems extract heat from the outside air, even in cold weather, and transfer it into your home. They're a great option for both new and existing buildings with the correct build fabrication. The power for an ASHP is generated via electricity meaning one household bill for home heating, water and electricity.
Ground Source Heat Pumps These pumps utilise the stable temperature of the ground to heat and cool your home. They're particularly suitable for homes with ample outdoor space. Solar Thermal Panels Solar panels can be used to heat water for your home, reducing your reliance on traditional heating methods.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Heating System
Fabrication of your home | Insulation quality: Consider how well-insulated your home is. Good insulation can reduce the heating load and affect the type and size of the heating system needed.
Type of construction | The materials used in your home's construction can impact heat retention and distribution. This includes the blockwork and the percentage of glass in the property.
Size and Layout: Square footage | The size of your home directly affects the heating capacity required. Larger homes may need more powerful heating systems or zoning to heat different areas efficiently.
Layout | Consider the layout of your home, including number of floors, open spaces, and room configurations. This influences how heat is distributed.
Budget/Upfront costs | Determine your budget for purchasing and installing a heating system. Different systems vary in cost, from initial installation to long-term maintenance.
Operating costs | Consider ongoing expenses such as energy consumption and maintenance.
Legislation | Energy efficiency standards: Check local regulations and energy efficiency standards that may affect your choice of heating system. As of June 2022, all new domestic buildings in Northern Ireland must reduce their carbon emissions by 40%, while non-domestic buildings require a 15% reduction. These regulations are part of the government’s phased approach to achieving Net Zero by 2050. Each factor is crucial in determining your home's most suitable heating system.
