AIR SOURCE HEAT 
PUMPS
ASHPs are becoming increasingly popular due to their efficiency and reduced carbon 
footprint. Unlike gas boilers that burn fuel, ASHPs extract heat from the outside air, 
even in cold weather, and amplify it to heat your home. While the initial investment is 
higher than a gas boiler, the long-term savings on energy bills and reduced carbon 
emissions make them a worthwhile consideration for many Essex residents.
GROUND SOURCE HEAT 
PUMPS
GSHPs operate on a similar principle to ASHPs but draw heat from the ground instead 
of the air. This provides a more consistent temperature source, making them 
particularly effective in colder climates. The installation process involves burying pipes 
in your garden, requiring more upfront planning and potentially higher installation costs 
than ASHPs.
BIOMASS 
BOILERS
For those with access to sustainable biomass fuel sources such as wood pellets or 
chips, biomass boilers provide a renewable heating alternative. These systems burn 
the biomass fuel to generate heat, offering a relatively low-carbon heating solution. 
Proper installation and regular servicing are essential for optimal performance and 
safety.
HYBRID HEATING 
SYSTEMS
Combining the benefits of different technologies, hybrid systems offer a flexible and 
efficient approach. A common configuration involves pairing a heat pump (ASHP or 
GSHP) with a gas boiler. The heat pump handles the majority of the heating needs, 
particularly during milder periods, while the gas boiler acts as a backup for very cold 
days or peak demand. This hybrid approach offers a smooth transition to renewable 
energy while providing the reliability of a traditional gas boiler as a safeguard.
