Heat Pump Service and Ducted Central Heating in Chelsea

Adding greenery to the streets of Chelsea is a relatively inexpensive way to reduce the effects of overheating. Green Roots is collaborating with researchers at University on this project. Heating in Chelsea helped select a block in Chelsea and placed temperature sensors throughout the neighborhood last summer. According to the study, all 2.5 square miles of Chelsea are heat islands, which put residents at risk for heart disease, lung disease and stroke. Unlike other parts of the city, Chelsea has pockets of extreme heat. In fact, it is often up to seven degrees hotter on some blocks than in other parts.

One block in Chelsea is typical of urban heat islands. It has a Boys & Girls Club at one end, ten multi-family buildings, and five trees, and yet it is also a hot spot. These high-rise buildings may serve as a template for other municipalities struggling with heat and air conditioning issues. But it isn't just homeowners that should pay attention to these problems. The city's public officials should be involved in this effort. Contact Melbourne Gas Heating Service at www.gasheatingservice.com.au for open fire, ducted central heating, and heating services.
