And now, there are increasing signals that the government are backing Heat Pumps to help the UK achieve net zero by 2050.
Renewable heat sources are a hot topic once again and this time we have some serious deadlines. The UK is under a legal obligation to reach net zero by 2050 and the UK government seems fully behind a large scale roll out.
What does this mean for UK households? Definitely decarbonising our homes by better insulating them - so we lose less heat - and the eventual end to fossil fuels in favour of renewable heat sources.
In this section we review the likely alternatives to fossil fuel heating systems and the financial incentives available to homeowners to fit renewable heating systems.
Are air source heat pumps the right replacement for your gas boiler?
The government voucher scheme for renewable heating came into effect from 1st April 2022 and currently expected to last until March 2028
Why high temperature heat pumps might have an important role to play in decarbonising some properties.
The potential for hybrid heat pumps to decarbonise heating in older and larger homes
Hydrogen v heat pumps, should it really be a battle? Vested interests are shaping the future of heat.
Thanks to competing energy providers, installation costs for a heat pump have dropped below gas boilers for the first time.
Measures in place to protect you from substandard installations, but only if you use certified AND competent installers
