Hundreds of British homes handed energy lifeline as new heat pump grant to halve bills

Speaking to Express.co.uk at the site, David Broom, the Managing Director of Kensa Contracting, said that project, which will be completed by March, would slash bills by almost 50 percent for some of the Thurrock residents currently using the most amount of gas. 

With energy bills at eyewatering levels, these heat pumps will thus help the residents save over a thousand pounds, and protect them from falling into fuel poverty. 

In reality, Mr Broom noted that most households would save about 20-30 percent on their energy bills. However, they would use more energy to heat their entire house, and thus would live in healthier, mould-free properties. 

Kensa noted that aside from significantly reducing the energy bills in these flats, replacing night storage heaters with ground source heat pumps would also slash carbon emissions by 70 percent.
