Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How accurate is this CO₂ heating calculator?
Our calculator uses official UK Government emission factors from DESNZ (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero). Accuracy is within industry standards for residential heating estimates.
❓ What emission factors do you use?
Gas: 0.183 kg CO₂/kWh, Oil: 0.264 kg/kWh, LPG: 0.215 kg/kWh, Electric (grid): 0.207 kg/kWh, Heat Pump: 0.062 kg/kWh (based on COP 3.5).
❓ How do I know my annual heating kWh?
Check your energy bills for annual gas/oil usage. For gas, 1 unit = approx 11.2 kWh. Average UK home uses 10,000-15,000 kWh annually for heating.
❓ What's the tree equivalent calculation?
Based on UK average: one mature tree absorbs approximately 22 kg CO₂ per year. Your emissions ÷ 22 = number of trees needed to offset annually.
❓ Is a heat pump really lower carbon?
Yes! Even with UK grid electricity, heat pumps produce 65-75% less CO₂ than gas boilers. As the grid decarbonises, this improves further.
❓ Can this help with boiler upgrade scheme applications?
Absolutely. Our calculator shows carbon savings that support BUS grant applications for heat pumps. We help with the full process.
❓ Does pipe sizing affect emissions?
Yes. Correct water pipe sizing improves system efficiency, reducing energy use and emissions. Our plumbing calculator helps with this.
❓ Is this tool really free?
100% free, no signup required. Use unlimited calculations — built by Speedy Jet Plumbers to help UK homeowners go green.
