The trial will help British Gas and Heata work out just how effective mini data centres at home could heat water, and slash energy bills.
But cloud computing provider Heata, which has partnered with British Gas, wants to put mini data processing units on hot water cylinders at home.
The energy giant, which powers about 7 million homes in the UK, is using the leftover energy from computer servers to heat water.
BRITISH Gas is trialling a new way to pump homes with hot water, which could drastically cut down household bills.
"Innovative projects like this are another example of how the UK is becoming a leader in cutting carbon emissions," Paul Lodwidge, Head of Energy Product & Propositions from British Gas, said in a statement.
