  • Absolutely Brilliant!

    This show is SO informative about heat pumps, in an easy to digest way, with bite size episodes, each tackling a specific point or a potential issue on which we will all seek better understanding and also often, need some reassurance.

    As we will all need to install some type of heat pump in our household over the next 25 to 30 years, this podcast comes at a perfect time to help us all getting a better understanding of this, not so new but still relatively under-used, more efficient heating syst... more

  • We need to talk about money.

    I think Evan Davis is wrong,heat pump should be put in when your current gas boiler is getting old, doesn’t have to be part of major renovation. Lots people have already put some insulation into their houses.I had heat pump put in over 4 days, including new radiators (as mine were over 30years old)and some piping, pretty painless really.

    I do remember how when we change our house from coal fires to gas central heating, and indeed we had to fund it all ourselves , no thought about grants.

I’ve struggled a bit to find the right quality of information- not dumbed down, but not just trying to interpret spec sheets, to make informed decisions now about the design of the large renovation.

    Feel free to recommend sources of info for system design too please! Eg solar/battery/HP - what do I need to k... more
