On 20th June the European Union finalised a new set of climate rules after months of talks. These new rules are set to target a total energy saving of 32.5% along with an uplift in the share of renewable energy to 32% by 2030.

The Government is introducing Assignment of Rights so that householders can overcome the initial cost of a renewable heating system, and in doing so increase the uptake of ground source and air source heat pumps.

In this blog, we assess the growing number of reasons why heat pumps are the go-to solution for house builders and developers. As well as the benefits to the appeal, running costs and energy efficiency of the property, it might not be long before the Government make heat pumps the mandatory option.

Reminder: Alto Energy are exhibiting at the ecoSHOWCASE Exhibition at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford on the 12th June. Come and give us a visit to find out more about our range of Heat Pump and Underfloor Heating products.

At Alto Energy we strive to offer the best possible customer service. The best way in improving that is to get feedback from our customers to offer them, and any new customers, a better service moving forward. We are posting every 3 months to provide an update on the feedback our customers have been giving us via the survey platform, SurveyMonkey.

As fossil fuel consumption for domestic heating is gradually phased out we will switch to an electric economy. Note that the UK's Clean Growth Strategy, recently published by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BIES), lays forth the objective of phasing out fossil fuel installations in new build within the next decade.
