Kevin McCloud advocates for heat pumps as a sustainable alternative to gas boilers, emphasizing their effectiveness in energy-efficient homes. He acknowledges their limitations in poorly constructed houses, where both heating solutions are inefficient. McCloud argues that improving insulation is essential for any heating system's performance. He perceives gas boilers as unsuitable for future heating, considering the urgency of reducing carbon emissions. His insights highlight the need for proper home construction to maximize the benefits of heat pumps, aligning with environmental goals for the future of home heating.
Heat pumps are fantastic in homes that are properly insulated and built to high standards.
If you have a building that leaks heat, putting a gas boiler in it is just as inefficient as using a heat pump in the same space.
