Heat Pumps
Heat pumps will play a large role in reducing energy needs for heating our homes. They have lower carbon dioxide emissions, because only around one third of their energy requirements come from the electricity grid. The government has said the installation of gas boilers is to be banned in all new homes. This will also result in the replacement and phasing out of many existing gas boilers.
We have developed this webpage for our members to obtain details of how heat pumps work, their costs & benefits and to share experience of installing and running heat pumps in our homes. Do let us know if you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspects of this technology. Contact us via heatpumps@climateactionilkley.org.uk
