We need a “major change of mindset” on how we heat our homes, according to Scottish Renewables. The trade body says we need to “kick its addiction” to gas-fired boilers if we are to meet ambitious targets for renewable heat. The benefits of decarbonising heat use are not only related to the environment, but could save consumers money and boost the local economy. “Most of our homes, businesses and public buildings are warmed by conventional gas boilers, and we must kick that addiction. District heating, for example, is a great way for hundreds of homes to share one heat source, but we have yet to see a consensus on its importance.”
