Heat networks are becoming more common across the UK because of the many benefits they offer. Some of the benefits include:
- Consistent and reliable heating and hot water, always available, on demand
- Environmentally friendly – potentially dramatically reducing your carbon footprint, heat networks can also be updated as new technology becomes available, making it possible to continually improve the energy efficiency of the network over time. Heat networks have been identified by the Government as one of the most cost effective ways to decarbonise heat in the UK
Safety - a HIU is safer than a boiler as there's no need for a gas supply to each home and no risk of carbon monoxide fumes
Space saving – a HIU is smaller than a boiler
Stable pricing – no more than one price change per year
Better visibility of costs - servicing and maintenance costs are included in the heat tariff for all equipment belonging to the heat network, you also know that any works are being carried out by qualified professionals
