Why the time is right to switch to a heat pump

Update: 2025-07-04

Description

While most people aspire to live more sustainably, some may be put off from switching to greener energy sources for various reasons, such as being unsure about the best options available.

A new episode of The Scotsman’s Sustainable Scotland podcast, in association with Aira, a clean energy-tech business, focuses on the benefits of air source heat pumps and looks to dispel any myths.

Nicola Mahmood, Head of Region at Aira, and Robin Parker, Mission Manager of Sustainable Future Mission, at Nesta, an innovation agency for social good, participated in the podcast.
