Upgrade your heating system

You might have heard the buzz about heat pumps recently, and in the right circumstance they can be a great way to heat your home without burning fossil fuels. 

Heat pumps use a small amount of electricity to extract warmth from the outside air and use it to heat your home. Since they’re able to convert 1kWh of electricity into up to 4kWh of heat, they’re four times more efficient than a traditional gas, electric or oil boiler, cutting your carbon emissions by 75%. 

However, it’s important to be aware that heat pumps are not currently an effective option for many UK buildings. Other green heating options like upgrading to a more efficient or lower-carbon boiler may be more suitable for your needs.
