This refers to the supply and installation of a specific type of renewable heating technology within a defined geographical area. These systems extract heat from the external atmosphere, even in cold conditions, and transfer it inside a building to provide heating and hot water. The location serves as a key factor in determining the suitability, efficiency, and implementation of these heating solutions due to varying environmental and structural considerations.
Utilizing these systems offers numerous advantages, including reduced carbon emissions, lower energy bills compared to traditional fossil fuel heating, and potential eligibility for government incentives. Historically, the increasing focus on sustainable energy and the phase-out of conventional boilers have driven the adoption of this technology. Their deployment represents a significant step toward achieving regional and national carbon reduction targets.
