COSTS

Installing a typical system costs around £10,000- £15,000. Running costs will depend on a number of factors including the size of your home and how well insulated it is. We give all our clients a full quotation.

SAVINGS

How much you can save will depend on what system you use now, as well as what you are replacing it with. Your savings will be affected by:

Your heat distribution system. Underfloor heating can be more efficient than radiators because the water doesn’t need to be so hot. If underfloor heating isn’t possible, use the largest radiators you can. We at CEI NI Ltd will be able to advise you on this.1
Your fuel costs. You will still have to pay fuel bills with a heat pump because they are powered by electricity, but you will save on the fuel you are replacing. If the fuel you are replacing is expensive you are more likely to make a saving.
Your old heating system. If your old heating system was inefficient, you are more likely to see lower running costs with a new heat pump.
Using the controls. Learn how to control the system so you can get the most out of it. You will probably need to set the heating to come on for longer hours, but you might be able to set the thermostat lower and still feel comfortable. We at Heat Pumps NI will explain to you how to control the system so you can use it most effectively.

EARNINGS

Ground Source Ground Source Heat Pumps are more expensive to install than Air Source Heat Pumps, but are more efficient and have a lifespan of 20-25 years. They are also eligible for a larger Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) grant. The RHI grant for both ground source and water source heat pumps is £3500. Air Source Heat Pumps Air Source Heat Pumps are becoming more popular in the UK and Ireland as they are significantly less expensive to install. This is because they don’t require any ground works and need less space, which also makes them an excellent choice for urban dwellings, flats and apartments. The RHI grant for an Air Source Heat Pump is £1700. You will be able to receive 7 years of payments for the heat you generate using a domestic heat pump through the NI Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).

MAINTENANCE

Our Nibe Heat pump systems come with a warranty of two years for parts and labour. You can expect them to operate for 20 years or more, but they do require regular scheduled maintenance. A yearly check by you and a more detailed check by CEI NI Ltd every three to five years should be sufficient. CEI NI Ltd will leave written details of any maintenance checks you should undertake to ensure everything is working properly. Ask us for any exact maintenance requirements before you install a heat pump.
