domestic heat

Heat pump installations in Scotland increased by 113% between 2020 and 2023, revealed the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) today (25 January).

“The cancellation of some net zero measures is likely to increase both energy bills and motoring costs for households,” the Climate Change Committee (CCC) has warned.

A new report by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has found that customers looking to purchase green domestic heating technologies are “not always treated fairly by businesses.”

Current± caught up with tepeo founder and CEO, Johan du Plessis, to learn more about the ZEB and discuss the urgent need to the UK to electrify its domestic heat.

Interim performance data released as part of the Electrification of Heat Demonstration Project (EoH), has shown that air source heat pumps (ASHPs) operate with high efficiency even in cold weather conditions, making the technology "a viable domestic retrofit solution three times more efficient than gas boilers."
