Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are a type of heating technology that absorb and concentrate heat from the air outside and use it to heat homes.  They are more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional fossil fuel heating systems.

Lee Kenney, Sales and Country Regional Manager for UK and Ireland at Henco, tells us more about the new Part L Legislation and how UK homes can benefit from faster installation times and a more cost-effective solution by using the Henco pre-insulated multilayer piping system for heating projects requiring Part L compliance.

The search for sustainable solutions that help to drive forward the Net Zero Carbon future of heating systems here in the UK has moved on to the use of sustainable water treatment products that will ensure clean water flowing through traditional and renewable heating systems as well as offering a raft of other benefits that will help specifiers, installers and householders.

The cost of living and energy costs are still biting deep for households at risk of fuel poverty. When income is limited, the decision to switch off the heating is often made to ensure that there is food on the table. With less government support this year, and standing charges on the rise, this dilemma is damaging not just to the physical wellbeing of each member of the household, but also to their mental wellbeing too.

As the unforgiving winter months plough steadily ahead, landlords play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of their tenants and maintaining the longevity of their properties. The responsibility extends beyond merely providing a roof over their heads – it involves preparing them for the challenges that the colder seasons can bring. In the UK, the issue of fuel poverty further underscores the significance of landlords actively engaging in initiatives to make their properties winter-ready. Housing Association Magazine’s Joe Bradbury discusses:

Social housing providers know the importance of clean circulating water in heating systems in their homes and have worked with liquid water treatment products for decades to achieve this. But with the release of new solid chemicals from DosaFil they have a far more environmentally friendly, easier to install and top up and easier to transport option.

George Clarke takes a scary look at the future

I’m sitting writing this in my shorts. Nothing else, just my shorts.

Why am I sharing this awful vision with you? Because at the time of writing it’s very hot. I’m at my desk at home and the temperature is 30 degrees. It’s been like this for days.

But, this isn’t just a random spike in temperatures for the UK. The entire planet experienced its hottest June ever on record, followed by the hottest July on record, breaking previous records by huge margins.
