• heat pump
  • similar to HVAC since it controls temperature.
• hot water cylinder

• overheat homes risk factors
  • Internal gains
• zero-emission boiler
  • Since the zero-emission boiler is all-electric, it is considered 100% efficient compared to conventional gas boilers. This means that there are no losses in energy input to heat conversion. To put that into perspective, a typical modern gas boiler (like a condensing one) is at least 90% efficient
