A total of £1,012,726 was spent on the upgrade with figures from a FOI revealing that the new air source heat pump cost £584,314 alone.
Locals have hit out after £1.1m worth of public funding was used to make the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Headquarters more climate friendly.
But Alan Crawford, who lives just outside Balloch and helps run the village hall, said there was a feeling among residents that this was a waste of taxpayers money and the former heating system was not damaging to the environment.“It may be a worthy objective ... but it is surely legitimate to ask what the costs, financial and practical, are likely to be. It can't be right that there would appear to be a bottomless pit of taxpayer's cash which is being spent on seeking this Holy Grail.
“The prospect of repeating this exercise across the UK public sector; national and local government premises, health, education, prisons, fire and rescue, quangos, etc. will add up to an enormous bill for UK taxpayers.
