Stand up for the future of your home heating – respond by 10th February
The government is currently consulting on how homes like yours will be heated in the future, and this is your chance to make sure your voice is heard. The government’s view is that low temperature heat pumps will be the primary low carbon technology for decarbonising most homes, but it recognises they may not be suitable for everyone. This is particularly true for homes off the gas grid that rely on oil heating.
The consultation seeks views on a range of alternative options. The problem with the majority of these is that it involves replacing your existing heating system, and in most cases, this is extremely costly. The data in the consultation also suggests these alternative options are no cheaper to use than existing oil heating systems.
