Heat pumps shown to slash emissions and energy use in future homes

Science has proved heat pumps are more efficient than gas boilers.New research from Bellway and the University of Salford, has found that air source heat pumps can operate more than four times as efficiently as traditional gas boilers in new-build homes, highlighting their potential to reduce emissions and support net-zero transition.The study was carried out inside the University of Salford’s Energy House 2.0 climate chamber, where Bellway constructed a full-size three-bedroom home built
