* Originally asked as ''How likely do you think you will be to join a heat network like this if you were given the opportunity? When answering please assume that you would pay no more for your heating bills than you do at present.''
Heat networks, also called district heating, involve heat being generated locally and provided to a dwelling, rather than being generated in the dwelling. According to the source, heat networks can be a more efficient, lower carbon way of providing heat to multiple houses.
