Domestic heating oil price in the UK makes the installation of an air source heat pump commercially compelling, even taking into account the premium you have to pay for this low-volume technology. Another point worth considering is that significant numbers of those in fuel poverty live in off-gas grid locations, hence their status, and the widespread adoption of this technology would significantly help in this area. Also, because of the low carbon emissions nature of this technology homes, having to meet higher levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes are also particularly well suited.
