Installers need to seize opportunities of low carbon heating

One thing we can be certain of is that tomorrow’s heating sector will look different to the one we currently know. The goal of net zero has been set but the path we will follow to achieve these carbon targets is less certain as there are multiple routes available for us to take. Government legislation is being prepared to steer the heating industry into a new era, where traditional fossil fuel systems will need to make way for more sustainable solutions. It is therefore, the responsibility of manufacturers, such as Grant, to support and provide installers with viable low carbon heating products, which can effectively meet their customers’ requirements while also reducing emissions.

Hydrogen­ – a credible future in home heating?

It looks like the writing is on the wall for natural gas boilers following the prime minister’s announced intention to reduce emissions by 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. Such an ambitious target cannot be tackled with heat pumps alone, so how to plug the gap?
