Local Heating Statistic

<2% of Liverpool homes off mains gas

Liverpool is highly urbanised, so fewer than 2% of homes are off the mains gas grid, though some surrounding rural Merseyside areas have higher concentrations

Off-Gas Grid Savings Opportunity

Over <2% of local properties rely on oil, LPG, or electric heating. Replacing these systems with a heat pump yields the largest financial savings and qualifies for maximum government grant support.
