Heat Pumps

Are you thinking about replacing your gas boiler with a heat pump? Is your home heat pump ready or are some upgrades needed first? For a simple introduction to the technology have a read of this leaflet from the Bittern Countryside Community Interest Company that goes through the basics: BCCIC Heat Pumps. For more information see this slide show from Futureproof Cumbria from their presentation given at Arnside in January 2026: FPC Heat Pumps. Or you could look at this project that shows what can be done in old property that underwent insulation retrofitting, installing solar panels and a heat pump: Case Study. Ready to find out more? For independent expert advice go to Futureproof Cumbria's heat pump support page here. This gives details if you want to talk to someone or you can fill in a questionnaire to find out what you need to do. We have also been collecting data on heat pump and solar panel installations in Arnside. If you want to see how many Arnside residents have invested in these technologies see our Map.
