CAN THE GRID KEEP UP?
As global temperatures rise, so does the need for cooling. Rinnai’s Managing Director Tony Gittings looks at the reasons behind these accelerated increases in demand.

A requirement for properties to be cooled during summer months is becoming ever more sought after by both international and UK customers. Global temperatures are rising, largely due to human activity. Records have confirmed that 2024 was the first calendar year that the average global temperature exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
