You’re probably aware the pressure is on to find more eco-friendly ways to fuel the heating and hot water in our homes. New gas boilers are set to be banned from the year 2035 (though there may be some movement on this date), and no newly built homes will be connected to the gas network from 2025. One of the key eco alternatives will be installing an electric heat pump to run our central heating systems. However, many of us still aren’t familiar with these green heating devices. We asked three experts about the two main types: air and ground source heat pumps. How do they work, which properties do they work in, what might you spend or save on heating costs, and what are the overall pros and cons? Professional advice from: Kit Knowles, director of Ecospheric, experts in Passivhaus and zero energy design; Mark Wilkins, technologies and training director of Vaillant, experts in installing heat pumps; and energy-efficiency expert David Hilton of Heat and Energy
