Dr. Richard Erskine recently delivered an illuminating and accessible exploration of air source heat pumps, a technology that has been quietly supporting our everyday lives for decades. In his engaging talk, Richard explained how heat pumps work, why they are so efficient, and how they play a vital role in cutting carbon emissions on the path to net zero.
Drawing on real-world examples, he highlighted how heat pumps can be effectively used across a wide range of buildings - from private homes and social housing to churches, community centres, and other public spaces. Along the way, Richard addressed common myths and misconceptions, offering clear, evidence-based insights into what heat pumps can (and can’t) do.
For anyone interested in low-carbon solutions, the talk offered a compelling case for why heat pumps aren’t just an alternative heating option - they’re a solution we should all be championing.
