HWA

#DidYouKnow that the humble household hot water cylinder can also act as a thermal home #battery, storing excess energy in the form of hot water, as well as supporting the grid during times of lower demand and higher input. Read our latest report here; lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT

.@CIPHE will be delivering our comprehensive training course to help guide installers on best practice when selecting and specifying a hot water cylinder for #heatpump installations. Book now ⬇️⬇️ ciphe.org.uk/about/events-d…

In 2014 we launched The HWA Charter- a set of standards, which each member company signs up to. They offer quality assurance, product satisfaction, & confidence in the manufacturer, that they will deliver a service beyond just supplying the product. #morethanjustasticker

We are delighted to welcome Stephanie Allchurch from @Altecnic as our new chair. Stephanie has been an active member of the HWA for over 10 years, providing technical insight to form the basis of standards, legislation, and guidance. tinyurl.com/2n8d5ogl #womeninengineering

50% OF HOMEGROWN ENERGY WASTED BY 2030? - GOVERNMENT MUST STEP IN ‘the government must step up its efforts. Never has #energysecurity been a more pressing issue than now. Generating our own energy, and then wasting 50% of it, is worse than doing nothing’ tinyurl.com/y6u7lry2

Sizing is paramount in specifying a cylinder once the fuel type is known. Isaac Occhipinti at the @HotWaterAssoc takes a dive into hot water storage fuel sources and recommended volumes of stored hot water. hvpmag.co.uk/Getting-a-hand…

18 million homes “may be unable to decarbonise heating” The HWA has highlighted what it terms “huge gaps” in government policy. Find out more at phpionline.co.uk/news/18-millio… @HotWaterAssoc

18 Million homes could be unable to decarbonise heating. The Government must do more to plug this gap! lnkd.in/dmWrSYKh #heating #netzero #hotwater

Homeowners will be forced to spend thousands on less effective new heating systems as ministers impose the elite's Net Zero agenda: express.co.uk/news/science/1…

Boris in green energy crisis: 18 million homes face huge costs: 'Heat pumps not suitable' Yes as long as he pushes CARRIES net-zero he does not care, having said that all the other parties are on board with this too. express.co.uk/news/science/1…

As part of our #NoPlaceLikeHome campaign, our members @AristonUK are running a #competition with @goodhousemag to #win an Electric Storage Heater worth over £500! Enter here; bit.ly/3o8am3e #Competition #winitwednesday

Less than 45% of homes in England have a hot water cylinder. As other forms of home heating, such as heat pumps, rise in popularity, the need for hot water cylinders increases. These systems will require a hot water store. lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT #energyefficient #heating

Leading trade body the @HotWaterAssoc, has launched a report ‘No Place Like Home’ that highlights huge gaps in government policy which could result in the UK falling short of #NetZero, or at the very least, making it harder to reach electricaltimes.co.uk/government-war…

Hot water Storage-If we do not invest in this untapped asset then it will become more expensive to upgrade homes ready for #NetZero. We also will not be able to take advantage of the current grid balancing potential of millions of hot water stores. lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT

The energy storage potential of the UK’s installed capacity of domestic hot water cylinders is comparable to our entire fleet of pumped-hydro-electric storage. Read our latest report here; lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT

HWA believes that homeowners with a hot water cylinder should be educated on its full potential and encouraged to retain it in order to future proof their heating system and maximise the UK’s energy storage potential. Read our latest report; lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT

There is much excitement around the role that #energystorage technologies can play to help the Uk acheive #NetZero however, relatively little attention has been paid to hot water cylinders. There's #NoPlaceLikeHome to store #energy. lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT

HWA new report warns government to step up efforts to decarbonise heating @HotWaterAssoc hvpmag.co.uk/HWA-new-report…

If the Government doesn't act now to educate consumers on the potential of hot water storage, the UK could lose out on the untapped potential of around 7 times the capacity of the UK’s largest pumped hydropower facility. Read our report in full here: lnkd.in/dVeVyhmT

Launching in the wake of the Heat & Buildings report, the HWA #NoPlaceLikeHome 🏠report comes with a stark warning for government to step up its efforts to decarbonise heating or risk losing out on untapped energy storage. tinyurl.com/ygqdknx8
