Authorities well-advised to produce up to 45% of UK electricity from sustainable sources by 2030

A study from the Committee for Climate Change has advised that alternative energy sources should provide 30 – 45% of the UK’s energy output by 2030 in order to meet renewable energy targets. These recommendations can help the UK meet EU targets as well as reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.

Renewable energy sources are available to go well with all houses and there’s a diversity of options offered for house owners to install in their homes. Heat pumps are a wonderful renewable energy source as they are extremely energy effective, and there are a variety of options available.

Ground source heat pumps are available in two types; horizontal array and borehole. The form of ground source heat pump you pick out is dependent on how much outdoor space you have available, with a horizontal array pump demanding about half an acre of land. Both equally work by drawing heat from the ground which is then warmed to provide central heating and hot water for your home.

Property owners who have limited outdoor space might find that air source heat pumps are much more suitable for their standards. They are straightforward to set up and call for less outdoor space, make them perfect for more urban places. They operate by drawing heat energy from the air which is then upgraded to a superior temperature to satisfy your hot water and heating needs.
