You dont just save money with a Heat pump from SK Services, you also help save the planet. Reducing Green House Gas Emmissions is important for all our futures. Heating an average size home with an Heat Pump is the equivalent of taking 2 well used family cars of the road.
No matter how you heat your home you will need the same amount of Kilowats of Hours. A kilowatt-hour is a measurement for energy use.
What this costs you and our environment is determined not just by the cost of the fuel but by the efficiency it is used.
This table shows how much the efficiency affects your cost

|---|---|---|---|
| Gas oil, lower efficiency boiler | 55%-70% | 3.78 | 6.87 |
