The New Year is traditionally seen as a time for change and in light of recent figures released by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), this may never have been more true if you are one of the million plus people using oil to heat your home.
The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived as the world's first Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) launches to the Commercial sector.
Information published on the legislation.gov.uk website indicates that the rules governing permitted developments have been extended to cover the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps.
Claire Graham uses 2x17kW ground source heat pumps to heat her large detached home.

Developer Nick Bradley is lovingly converting 5 Barns in a courtyard development between Worcester and Hereford.
Having installed a heat pump into his own home last year Nick said, "I've monitored the performance of my own system very carefully and I've reduced what would have been a £2,000 oil bill to £500 running costs for my heat pump.
I had thought the extra capital cost for the heat pump would take about 5 years to recoup but I'm astonished it's only going to take 2 years and after that it's money in the bank.
I really am saving 75% of my heating costs.
I've been so impressed I'm now putting heat pumps into all my developments including the 5 in this courtyard development."
Nick's construction methods are way ahead of most developers, particularly in the areas of insulation. The care and detail in his workmanship are obvious to even the casual visitor.

The houses are built in beautiful rolling countryside offering idyllic country living.More"I’ve experienced living with a heat pump in my own home and I’m so convinced about the technology I am now installing them in all my developments."
