Meet David and Pauline
David and Pauline installed an air source heat pump because “reducing our home’s total energy use just made sense to us.”
Because the heat pump warms their home more slowly, as opposed to warming and cooling it like a gas boiler does, David says it’s ideally suited to him working at home.
If you want to reduce your carbon emissions, they say “Get a heat pump: they’re great, and they’ll reduce your energy use.”
