Micro combined heat and power (micro CHP) is a technology that generates heat and electricity at the same time. The main output of a micro-CHP system is heat, with some electricity generation. 

Many homes can easily replace a conventional gas boiler with a micro CHP boiler instead. While micro CHP boilers require gas or liquified petroleum gas (LPG), they are still considered a low carbon technology because it can be more efficient than just burning a fossil fuel for heat and getting electricity from the grid.

• Generates electricity as a by-product when generating heat.
• Installation is easy and similar to that of a conventional gas boiler.
• Reduces your carbon footprint compared to conventional gas boilers.

• It costs more than a conventional boiler to install.
• It only generates electricity if the heat is on, so during the summer months very little electricity is generated.
