Will All New Builds Have Renewable Heating In the Future?

With increasing technological advancements, renewable heating has gained more prominence. We saw how wind and solar energy could be harnessed for energy generation which means we could reduce our carbon footprint considerably. When we think about the future and the way we will consume energy, it is easy to say that in the next decade or two, newly built homes will be furnished with renewable heating technologies as standard. 

Considering how climate change and global warming is an ongoing concern, there is more awareness about how you can be more responsible, efficient and green in your approach. What’s more, the personal benefits you can get from being energy-efficient are great. 

At JL Phillips, we are at the forefront of the energy industry and here’s our take on why every new build will have renewable heating installed in the future. 

Let’s take a look!

Renewable Heating Companies are Advertising Everywhere

With leading renewable installation companies like ourselves catering to customers on a national scale, we have experienced a massive growth in the number of heat pumps people have installed over the years. People have been paying more attention towards green strategies which means they realise what’s at stake.

From a business perspective, promoting the installation of green heating technologies like heat pumps and biomass boilers is bound to increase sales. Add to this the RHI payments from the government, it’s hardly surprising why more and more people are installing renewable technologies. 

It’s only a matter of time before all new builds will predominantly have green heating solutions installed. 

Self-Sufficiency has Become a Global Trend

People everywhere are trying to come up with ways to reduce their bills and save money. They are looking for ways to lead an ‘off-the-grid’ lifestyle with the installation of solar panels to generate electricity.

An increasing number of people are looking for DIY solutions to be green with energy-consciousness being the primary reason. If you wish to produce more energy than what you use, installing green heating technologies is the way to go. 

It is Environmentally Friendly

As the effects of pollution and climate change become increasingly evident in day to day life, consumers are becoming more conscious of their impact on the environment.

Several homeowners and contractors have committed to leading an eco-friendly lifestyle which explains the steady increase in the number of renewable installations. 

The Promise of Financial Reward

Perhaps the only point of concern for most builders and homeowners is that installing a renewable heating system requires a significant upfront cost.

However, with the government’s domestic RHI scheme, eligible homeowners can receive financial incentives for a period of seven years. Combine this with all the savings you’ll be making on your energy bills, and you will see that the installation basically pays for itself.

No Major Maintenance Costs Involved

Air and ground source heat pumps are robust technologies that have an average life expectancy of 15 years.

What’s more, you do not have to shell out significant amounts of money on heat pump maintenance every year. With a yearly JL Phillips pump service, we’ll ensure your heat pump is operational and working as intended.

Non-Renewable Energy is Going to Exhaust Itself

In the next 20 years, governments all across the world are likely to impose strict laws on the use of fossil fuels as supplies begin to fall.

With such binding laws, renewable energy will be the only logical alternative for new builds.
