Heat Pumps
By far the cheapest and most eco-friendly home-heating technology currently available is the heat pump. A heat pump is a type of central heating system, which literally pumps heat from outside your home into your heating system, like a fridge-freezer in reverse. The ground outside your home is a vast reserve of energy, heated by the sun. Systems for heating the home do so with amazing efficiency – typically around 400%. That means for every unit of electric energy used by your heat pump, you will get 4 units worth of heat in the house. Bills for oil heated homes drop by around 60%, electrically heated homes by 75%, with large reductions in CO2 emitted. The savings are potentially huge. Recent steep rises in fuel prices mean that the savings offered by renewable energy heating systems are even greater than before. For too long we have relied on the Earth's natural resources such as coal, gas and oil.

Proven Technology
Heat pumps are nothing new. Over 95% of new homes built in Sweden use them. In fact every home and most offices already have a heat pump in the form of a refrigerator. Put your hand at the back of a fridge. You can feel the heat being discharged. This is the heat pump in your fridge taking the heat out of the food and letting it escape at the back. That is the theory behind a heat pump.

Carbon neutral heating system
Heat pumps do not need a flue as there are no emissions, and if coupled with an electricity company's green tariff, you can achieve a carbon neutral heating system.
