Hope Denton, Acoustic Solutions Specialist at Jacksons Fencing, writes The UK has set ambitious targets to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and one key technology in achieving this goal is air source heat pumps (ASHP). These systems harness renewable energy from the outside air to heat homes and businesses.
