Meet Heid
Heid installed an air-source heat pump in her ground floor Edinburgh flat to replace her gas boiler and reduce her carbon emissions.
Home Energy Scotland helped her explore her options and find a certified installer through Energy Saving Trust’s Renewables Installer Finder.
Heid was very impressed with the process of upgrading her heating system. She says “it’s great to know so much about the hot water and heating system that we have and I’m very happy with the customer service I received from the various providers like installers and manufacturers.”
