Break free from rising oil prices
Oil heating can be expensive and unpredictable, with prices that can change quickly and without warning. Recent global events have shown how fast costs can rise, leaving households exposed to sudden increases in heating bills.
Because heating oil is not regulated, you have little control over what you pay. A heat pump gives you a more stable and efficient alternative, helping you take back control of your energy costs.
- Less exposure to changing oil prices
- No need for fuel deliveries or on-site storage
- One system for heating and hot water
Save over £1,200 a year
For a typical 4-bedroom home currently using oil, switching to a heat pump can reduce running costs by over £1,200 per year.
This reflects the difference between volatile oil prices and the higher efficiency of a heat pump, helping you reduce ongoing heating costs while maintaining comfort throughout your home.
Over time, these savings build, making a noticeable difference to your annual energy spend.
Payback in around 5 years
With lower running costs and available support, many homeowners see a payback period of around 5 years, depending on the property, insulation levels and system design.
This means your system can begin to pay for itself sooner than you might expect, while continuing to deliver savings over the long term.
