PEOPLE considering swapping their gas boiler for a heat pump, can find useful information via the Energy Saving Trust, says Wokingham Borough Council.
With colder winter weather upon us, many people are turning their attention to how they heat their homes.
Heating is one of the home’s largest carbon contributors to carbon emissions, with around 85 per cent of domestic boilers burning natural gas.
Anyone thinking of installing a heat pump in their home,can find information from the Energy Saving Trust, including answers to common questions: Are heat pumps noisy? Do they cost more to run than a gas boiler? Will they work in below freezing temperatures? Do I have to have new radiators? And can it keep my house warm all year?
