Heating is responsible for a third of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and the majority of our homes use gas boilers, which run on fossil fuels, or electric boilers which have a high energy usage. Heat pumps are an eco-friendly and efficient way of heating (and cooling!) our homes and reducing our carbon emissions. […]

Are you looking to become more eco-friendly in your daily life? Many people are now looking to do this as a way to reduce their environmental impact, plus this can also be helpful in terms of saving money in many cases.
