Heating accounts for a major chunk of household energy consumption. As a result, heating is a huge contributor to a household’s carbon footprint. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, begin by looking at how you heat your home.
As much as 90% of the heat produced in a home is powered by fossil fuels. An energy-efficient heating system combined with renewable sources of energy offers the most efficient way to reduce your home’s carbon footprint and your energy bills too.
Here are some of the top low-carbon heating technologies that can help reduce your carbon footprint.
Heat pumps
Heat pumps are relatively new in the UK but their presence is growing rapidly owing to their efficiency. Heat pumps use natural heat from the air, ground or water body to heat your home.
A heat pump works just like a refrigerator but in reverse. The best part is that heat pumps are highly effective even when the outdoor weather is cool.
Whether you opt for air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps or water source heat pumps, you are investing in a future-ready technology that’s sure to reduce your carbon footprint.
Solar Power
The sun is an integral part of our lives, so why not leverage the sun’s rays to produce renewable energy for your home? Solar panels can help generate electricity for your house efficiently and affordably at the same time. What’s more, solar panels can produce electricity even if the weather is not that bright.
Solar panels can bring down your home’s energy consumption, saving 1.6 tonnes of carbon each year for an average home.
Electric combi boilers
The combi boiler is the modern avatar of the old-fashioned oil-fired boilers. An electric combi boiler uses electricity to heat your home.
Your search for an energy-efficient household heating solution ends with an electric combi boiler as they do not burn fuel and lose far less energy.
When compared to gas or oil burners, electric combi boilers are noiseless and extremely easy to use too.
