What's your source?
Two types of heat pump are widely available, air source and ground source. When we talk about heat pumps, we are generally talking about air source heat pumps!
Air source heat pumps are the most common option in Jersey, as they are far easier to install. They capture the heat in the air outside your home and boost it to heat your rooms and water. The main requirement of an air source heat pump is a space outside your home with clearance for the air to flow around it.
A ground source heat pump needs a loop to be drilled vertically or laid horizontally, this is often prohibitively expensive.
Benefits of using heat pumps
Up to 500% efficient
Eligible for installation incentive of up to £9,000*
60% lower running costs than oil or gas**
Works with your existing central heating
Very quiet operation
Zero flue emissions and low carbon footprint
Highly efficient heating
For every unit of low carbon electricity used to power a heat pump, they'll generate up to five units of useable heat, making them incredibly efficient and economical to run.
Harnessing this 'free' energy ensures low running costs and a significant reduction in emissions when compared with gas and oil.
Installing an air source heat pump
Air source heat pumps need an outdoor location with adequate airflow, some indoor space for your hot water cylinder, and radiators or underfloor heating to distribute the heat. There’s been huge progress in heat pump technology in recent years, meaning heat pumps are no longer limited to new or well-insulated homes.
Switching from a fossil fuel boiler to an air source heat pump
It's easier than ever to switch from oil or gas to an air source heat pump. Our team can carry out a detailed survey of your property and heating system to ensure a heat pump will meet your needs.
The biggest difference between a fossil fuel boiler and a heat pump, is that it’s more efficient to keep your home at a consistent cosy temperature, rather than turn heating off when you’re out during the day. This simple change makes for a ‘set and forget’ system, while also ensuring the heat pump runs efficiently, which more than offsets the extra hours when your heating is ‘on’.
Protection and peace of mind
An investment in a heat pump is a purchase for the long term. That’s why JE partnered with Vaillant, a company with over 150 years of experience in the heating industry.
A heat pump that is maintained and regularly serviced should last in excess of 15 years. And in partnership with Vaillant we're pleased to offer Jersey Electricity customers a market-leading 10-year warranty.
