You can register your interest in making your home’s heating more efficient and eco-friendly with reduced cost.
Air source heat pumps can cut carbon emissions by 44% each year. Their efficiency ratings also typically reach 300%.
As a result, air source heat pumps can save on energy bills over time. However, they can also come with a high upfront cost.
Switch Together is able to keep the cost down for Essex homeowners through group buying. This involves:
- Register your interest for free and without obligation by 1 November 2024
- A list of vetted installers compete by bidding to work with interested local residents. They offer their most competitive price without compromising on quality
- Receive a personalised offer via email. This details all costs and specifications tailored to your home. There is still no obligation to proceed
- Review the offer at your own pace. If you choose to proceed, the installer will schedule a survey and complete the installation
- Telephone and email help desks are available throughout. This helps you make an informed decision in a hassle-free environment
We are helping deliver Switch Together in partnership with iChoosr. They are behind the successful Solar Together programme.
Councillor Peter Schwier, our Climate Czar and Cabinet Member for Environment, Waste Reduction and Recycling, said: “Household heating accounts for about 14% of the country’s CO2 emissions. Considering how energy bills have risen, it is in everyone’s interest that modern and efficient air source heat pumps are made more accessible to Essex homeowners.”
You can significantly reduce your carbon footprint by making the switch to more efficient heating and water.
You must be a homeowner in Essex to benefit from Switch Together. Find out more and register your interest.
You could make further savings with a £7,500 grant from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme towards a new heat pump installation. Heat pump installations are also currently VAT-exempt.
