As the UK accelerates toward a greener future, homeowners and landlords face important choices about upgrading heating systems. While gas heating remains common and reliable, integrating renewable technologies can significantly reduce carbon footprints and energy bills — all while maintaining comfort and compliance with evolving regulations.
At ARV Group, we specialise in helping property owners’ transition smoothly from traditional gas heating to energy-efficient, greener solutions that fit their budgets and homes.
Why Combine Gas Heating with Renewables?
Gas boilers currently provide most UK homes with heating but rising energy costs and carbon reduction targets are driving the need for cleaner alternatives. Hybrid systems that pair gas boilers with renewable tech offer:
- Lower carbon emissions
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Gradual transition without full system replacement
- Potential government grants and incentives
Popular Renewable Heating Options to Consider
1. Air Source Heat Pumps
ASHPs extract heat from outside air to warm your home and hot water. Paired with a gas boiler, they can cover different heating demands efficiently.
- Pros: Significant energy savings, reduces gas reliance
- Considerations: Initial installation cost, best suited for well-insulated homes
2. Solar Thermal Panels
These panels capture sunlight to heat water, reducing boiler load especially during sunny months.
- Pros: Low running costs, reduces gas consumption
- Considerations: Less effective in winter, needs compatible system
3. Biomass Boilers
Using sustainable wood pellets, biomass boilers provide a renewable alternative for heating and hot water.
- Pros: Carbon neutral fuel source, suitable for larger properties
- Considerations: Requires storage space and regular maintenance
