system showcased today is making a considerable contribution to carbon savings, reducing emissions by approximately 45% compared to a gas-only boiler whilst also reducing the customer’s energy consumption and bills. “Ultimately, it will be the demand of customers that will drive the need for a lower energy solution. Customers can benefit from using less energy, and from better efficiencies through the electric heat pump element, whilst retaining the reliability that a gas boiler provides across all seasons to meet the comfort levels that householders demand. “As the gas industry begins to
decarbonise and progresses its pathway to net zero through the introduction of renewable gas solutions such as biomethane, it’s great to see new innovative customer solutions like this one coming into the local marketplace.” Bill Cherry, Chief Executive of Refresh NI, said, “As a local installation company that’s been in the industry for over 30
years, I can truly say this is one of the most exciting innovations we have brought to the local marketplace. Introducing a new, decarbonising technology that is an evolution from existing infrastructure means that customers will very soon be able to benefit from renewable energy solutions that are affordable, without disruption to their homes and lives.”
