What Does Switching from Oil to Solar + Heat Pump Actually Save in Dumfries?

A typical Dumfries and Galloway home on oil heating spends £1,800–£3,200 per year on oil plus £1,200–£1,800 on grid electricity. Replacing oil with a heat pump (£400–£700/yr) and adding solar panels that offset grid costs (£1,000–£1,800/yr saving) reduces total annual energy spend to £0–£700. That's £2,200–£3,500 saved every year. With the £18,000 HES rural package available to most DG homes, payback is 4–7 years. Call 0141 230 0198.
