Gallowhill flats will be heated by eco system in Scottish first

High rise flats in Paisley are to benefit from the largest green heating network to be built in Scotland.
Renfrewshire Council has confirmed it will install the innovative networked ground source heat pump solution at the two multi-storey blocks in Gallowhill.
The system, to be installed by contractor Kensa, works by collecting heat from underground pipes and transferring it to homes using a heat pump.
The new system will replace the gas network, which is coming to the end of its life, and will provide heat and hot water to all 180 homes within Gallowhill Court and Glencairn Court.
It is hoped the new system will also reduce bills for residents, with the cost for the new provision included in their electricity bill.
The project is the first time a local authority in Scotland has delivered a solution of this nature and scale in its properties.
Work is set to start on site this month with the project expected to be completed by summer 2026.
