Heat Pumps for Heating?

K Edwards

In the UK, gas boilers are being phased out as part of the government's plans to decarbonize the heating sector and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The goal is to transition to low carbon heating technologies, such as heat pumps and district heating systems, which emit significantly less carbon dioxide than gas boilers.


Under the government's Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP), funding is being provided to support the development and expansion of heat networks, which use central boilers or other low carbon heat sources to provide heat to multiple buildings. The goal is to have 30% of heat demand met by heat networks by 2030.


In addition, the government has set a target for all new homes built after 2025 to be "zero carbon," which means they will produce as much energy as they consume and will not be connected to the gas grid. Instead, they will rely on low carbon heating technologies, such as heat pumps, to meet their heating and hot water needs.


It's important to note that while gas boilers are being phased out in new homes, they will still be allowed in existing homes until they reach the end of their lifespan. There is no specific date for when gas boilers will be banned in the UK.


Overall, the government's plans to phase out gas boilers are part of a wider effort to decarbonize the heating sector and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This will require the adoption of low carbon heating technologies and a shift towards heat networks and other decentralized heating solutions.

Excellent Home office ac installation

"Hertfordshire Air Conditioning recently installed an ac system serving two bedrooms / offices. From the initial contact with Ken, through the site visit when he explained the various options, the transparent quote process, pre-installation discussions, the actual installation and the follow-up support, everything has been excellent and I would highly recommend the company to others. Ken and his engineers were friendly and very knowledgeable. The work has been carried out to a high standard and we are very happy with the Toshiba units, which look so much better than "standard" ac units."
