Will installing a heat pump reduce my energy bills?

When a heat pump is installed, the electricity use in your home will increase so your electricity bill may increase as a result as the heat pump is powered by electricity, However, a heat pump should eliminate the need for oil or gas to heat your home, which will remove these associated costs completely. A properly installed heat pump is more efficient than a gas boiler and other fossil fuels as the amount the pump produces is three or four times greater than the amount it uses so you'll save money on heating bills. 

Heat pumps can have different efficiencies at different times of the year. Factors such as the size of your home, how well it's insulated, and how much hot water you use, will all determine the effectiveness of your heat pump.

Your heat pump should be serviced annually to ensure optimal performance and to extend its lifetime. If your energy costs are considerably higher, this may be due to a lack of maintenance or a fault within the system.
