EDF<\/a> has joined forces with Daikin UK<\/a> to help its customers make their homes more energy-efficient, discover low-carbon alternatives for heating and help decarbonisation of homes in the UK<\/h2>\n

Launched by the government in September, the Green Homes Grant<\/a> has encouraged homeowners to explore heat pumps as a renewable, green alternative to fossil-fuel heating by providing them with the chance to apply for vouchers up to the value of \u00a35,000 \u2013 with this increasing to \u00a310,000 for low-income households \u2013 to help cut the cost of green home improvements.<\/p>\n

EDF customers will be able to access this national team of experts for advice and expertise to make sure their heat pump system<\/a> is correctly designed and installed, allowing them to access eligible funding, including the Green Homes Grant.<\/p>\n

Mainstream adoption of heat pumps as a viable alternative to gas boilers is vital to improving the energy efficiency of the UK\u2019s homes and helping the nation\u2019s decarbonisation efforts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heat pumps can produce 45% fewer carbon emissions<\/a> compared to a gas boiler, and 59% fewer carbon emissions emitted by an oil boiler \u2013 a reduction of up to 43.5 tonnes of carbon emissions over the system\u2019s lifetime per home.<\/p>\n

Sustainable methods of heating homes<\/h3>\n

Iain Bevan, commercial manager at Daikin UK, said:\u00a0\u201cPositive change has to happen, and this means moving away from using fossil-fuel powered gas boilers, wood fires and other pollutant-expelling heat, and moving towards sustainable methods of heating our homes that are available now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a clear role for the heating industry in educating consumers to help them make the right decisions for their homes and our new partnership with EDF provides a great platform to do this.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we\u2019re able to give consumers access to the advice they need and support them through the full installation process, ensuring they get the best heat pump solution for their home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Connon, senior manager of heat at EDF, added: \u201cAs Britain\u2019s largest generator of zero-carbon electricity we\u2019re committed to helping Britain achieve net-zero.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to offer our customers smarter, innovative solutions that enable them to change to low-carbon lifestyles, whether that\u2019s by encouraging the switch to electric vehicles<\/a>, using smart technology within their homes, or considering alternative solutions to heating their home such as heat pumps.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, by 2035 we aim to help our household customers reduce their collective emissions by the equivalent of more than 70% of that arising from their 2019 electricity and gas use.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy partnering with Daikin, we\u2019re able to increase awareness of renewable home heating and more specifically the benefits of heat pumps to our customers, as well as offering them a trusted supplier.\u201d<\/p>\n
