Despite being more like a refrigerator than a gas boiler, this home heating technology could slash Britain\u2019s emissions, and bills<\/p>\n

Only 1% of British homes have a heat pump, but to hit the government\u2019s climate goals, an estimated 80% of homes<\/a> should be heated by one in the next 25 years.<\/p>\n

Whereas gas boilers burn gas to produce heat, heat pumps do something more complicated. Sometimes described as working like a \u201cfridge in reverse\u201d, they use a mixture of evaporation and condensation to transfer heat from outside to inside a building. In a cold winter, it can be hard to understand how these devices work.<\/p>\n
