Heat Pumps in New Homes
Heat pumps work exceptionally well in new homes. Modern building standards ensure that these homes are well-insulated, making heat pumps a cost-effective and efficient heating solution. When installed in a new home, a heat pump can significantly reduce energy bills.
The Impact of Insulation on Heat Pump Efficiency
However, attaching a £10,000 heat pump to a poorly insulated home can lead to higher electricity costs than gas. This highlights the importance of considering insulation when aiming to reduce your home’s energy bill. Proper insulation ensures that a heat pump operates efficiently, providing optimal heating and saving you money.
Evaluating Your Home for a Heat Pump
Heat pumps are an excellent choice for new homes because they perform well under the right conditions. Before deciding on a heat pump, it’s crucial to have an evaluation of your home. This assessment helps determine if a heat pump is the best choice for your specific situation.

The Role of Insulation
To ensure that your heat pump not only heats your home effectively but also reduces your bills, you must have proper insulation. Insulation is often available through grants. Currently, the UK government supports many home improvements under the ECO4 grant. This includes both heat pump installation and various types of wall and loft insulation.
