It’s expected that half of Scotland’s energy will come from renewable sources by 2030. Change is happening right across the country and nearly 400 householders across the Highlands and Islands are among those leading the way.
They are members of the 1,100-strong Green Homes Network in Scotland, which connects anyone thinking of installing renewables and other efficient new heating systems with people who have travelled that path already. We talked to two Green Homes Network members - Tim Johnston of Lentran near Inverness and Mathieson Ross of Aviemore - about their experience of using air source heat pumps and their reasons for installing them in their mid-20th century properties.
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and convert it into useful energy which can be used to heat radiators, underfloor heating systems and provide hot water in your home. Why did you choose to install an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP)?
