Protect the environment
The cost of harvesting fossil fuels is high, thus increasing its actual cost on the market. This price has been increased in an attempt to compensate for the damage that is caused by the fuels upon burning. The use of eco-home heating systems reduces the emission of harmful gases into the air, oil spills in waterways, instances of acid rain and global warming.
Save on money
Since the cost of non-renewable sources is high, shifting to sources which have a positive environmental impact helps reduce heating bills. Not only do you protect the environment, but you also save money. Some examples of eco-friendly heating solutions include:
Air source heat pumps – These use similar principles to a fridge, just in reverse (emitting heat). It is cheap, low maintenance and has a low carbon footprint.
Biomass heating systems – This includes the use of pellet stoves that have low carbon emissions and are easy to maintain.
Ground source heat pumps – The water is warmed by the ground and pumped through pipes, reducing electricity bills significantly.
Solar hot water systems – Through the use of sunlight, panels or tubes are positioned on the roof and the energy generated is used to heat water. Just like its counterparts, it is cheap, low maintenance and has a low carbon footprint.
