Big Energy Saving Week is a yearly campaign that occurs every January. Run by Citizens Advice and the Energy Saving Trust, it aims to encourage people to find new ways to minimise their energy usage and reduce their carbon footprint, raising public awareness for a more efficient future. With the boiler ban on the horizon and the UK government pledging net zero carbon emissions by 2050, this campaign acts as a great step in the right direction – motivating the public to get involved and make certain lifestyle changes, no matter how small. So, how can this help with your heating and what can you do to lower those household bills? We’ve got the answers.

With the notorious unpredictability of the British weather, heating your outdoor commercial space may sound like a daunting task at best and a pointless one at worst.

One carbon-conscious heating solution that helps to both reduce pollution and energy consumption may sound too good to be true, but for the right household, a heat pump could be the answer.
