Towards home heating with a heat pump or heat network
Do not wait until your boiler breaks down to consider alternatives to fuel oil or natural gas. If you find yourself in a situation requiring a quick decision, the choice is very limited, at least if your home is not yet energy-efficient.
Roadmap to sustainable heating for your home
- Stap 1
Insulate your home
Sustainable heating will not succeed if your home is leaking heat. You therefore need to insulate thoroughly first.
- Stap 2
Heat at low temperature
Those who live in a well-insulated house can heat economically through low-temperature heating. Low-temperature heating is done with heating that can generate a lot of heat: underfloor heating, customised radiators, fan coil units or wall heating. This is much more efficient and leads to large energy gains.
- Stap 3
Consider a heat pump or heat network
Once you can heat at low temperature, you are eligible for various renewable energy sources and techniques, e.g. a heat pump or connection to a heat network.
