8 brilliant home innovations

The carbon-saving heater: The rising cost of heating coupled with increasing environmental awareness means we’re all looking for cheaper, more eco-friendly ways to heat our home. Baxi’s clever contraption, the Ground Source Heat Pump, extracts heat from the earth and transfers it into fluid which vapourises to create a gas. It can emit a constant temperature of 40 degrees, and because it produces four times more energy than it uses, the heat pump can save around two tonnes of carbon every year.
