HEATING AND COOLING

• The Garden Cottage is brand new and extremely well insulated to retain warmth in winter and stay cool in summer, but it also has air conditioning in the main room over the summer months. The hot water and underfloor heating is from air-source heat pumps, so there is no fossil fuel combustion onsite and as soon as it is possible, we will be sourcing all electricity from renewables.
