Earth Notes: Glossary of Technical and Green Terms

Wet or hydronic central heating circulates hot water from a boiler or furnace or heat pump through radiators, underfloor pipes, towel rails, etc, to heat a building. As of 2022 it is by far the most common form of domestic heating in the UK, with the boilers being powered by combustion of natural gas. These gas boilers in 20+ million homes will be replaced for the most part with heat pumps over the next few decades to help eliminate carbon emissions and tackle climate change. Wet heating is generally quiet and safe and efficient compared to fireplaces or electric heaters or portable heating appliances.
