Electrifying heating can materially reduce fossil-fuel consumption and operating costs in Belgian buildings, but only when the building, electrical connection, tariff structure and operating profile are assessed together. A heat pump is not a like-for-like boiler replacement: its value depends on seasonal efficiency, required flow temperatures, peak electrical demand and the interaction with on-site…
