AA Projects has backed findings from the Renewable Heat Report by Innasol and Frost & Sullivan that point to a significant lack of awareness when it comes to changing renewable heating solutions.
According to the report, there's widespread suspicion of renewable energy costs, with many failing to grasp the large savings that could be made on their energy bills if they were to take part in the government's Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
While the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme, which started in 2011, is set to be rolled out to domestic homes this, providing home owners with the opportunity to save up to 45% on their heating bills, many believe that the scheme still isn't doing enough.
The concerns come as only a relatively small number of home owners in the UK have opted to switch to a renewable heating solution. A representative for AA Projects said: "The Renewable Heat Report shows that there isn't anywhere near enough being done to promote energy efficient heating. There's still a lot of pessimism and confusion surrounding energy efficient heating, particularly the RHI."
The problem, believes AA Projects, is that the majority aren't aware of what's available and how it could benefit them.
"If you ask most people they're more than happy to look at the likes of double glazed windows and energy efficient light bulbs but only a very small minority have given an thought to biomass systems, for example. In fact, according to this study, 74% of people in the UK aren't aware that biomass systems are a great source of renewable heating, and a further 84% don't see heat pumps as a solution for renewable heating either," said AA Projects.
