Heating with renewables: Detached homes and apartment blocks with up to 6 apartments

A ‘renewable heating’ advice service is available to building owners who have oil, gas or electric heating and who wish to find out which renewable low-carbon heat source is most appropriate to heat their building. An advisor visits the client (property owner) to discuss the building’s energy requirements, location-specific factors and the owner's wishes. The advisor takes these factors into account and gives the owner a checklist setting out recommendations for optimising the current heating system. On the basis of the checklist, the client can get appropriate quotes for a new system and set about switching to renewables. This database contains all the trained advisors in the ‘renewable heating’ programme who meet the quality criteria.
