In the drive to find alternative fuel sources to heat the home, it might be that you’ve already considered a heat pump to replace your conventional gas-fired boiler. But do you need planning permission to install a heat pump or can you go ahead without?
Powered by electricity, heat pumps work in a similar way to fridges – just in reverse. Depending on whether you install an air or ground-source appliance, your heat pump will extract warmth from the air or ground and concentrate it into a usable, higher temperature warmth that can be used for your home’s heating or hot water.
