How are heat pumps better for the environment?

Heat pumps are much better for the environment than boilers. Boilers operate at 80-90% efficiency and release CO2, which contributes to climate change, and pollutants that can harm your health. That's why you need a flue and a carbon monoxide alarm when using a boiler. Heat pumps, on the other hand, use electricity, which can come from renewable sources such as sunlight and wind, and they use this electricity at over 400% efficiency on average if using a Heat Geek. This means they produce no emissions at your home when operating.

- Heat pumps use electricity that can be generated from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which produce no greenhouse gases or other pollutants.

- Heat pumps are much more efficient than boilers, using about a quarter of the energy to produce the same amount of heat.

- Heat pumps do not produce any harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide or nitrogen dioxide.
