The truth about heat pumps and the power needed to run them https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66359093
It’s interesting,as many,many houses are not able to be insulated in the required manner in order to make the Uber technology to stay warm


About ten years ago we went electric. Long story,but the gas boiler replacement included digging the house up to replace piping that didn’t meet new regulations. We didn’t have the 12 grand it was gonna cost! The new heat pumps will also mean new piping,for sure!
When I told our gas man ,he agreed when I mentioned the future. That electricity will be the way forward. And it looks like it will be,although where enough electricity actually comes from will be a different matter!
So right now ,here at Chez Jansman we have solid fuel heating,which I am sure will be stopped eventually . Wouldn’t want us posh country people to be independently warmer than the Townies! Electricity heating is remote/ manual controlled panels ( they look good) and infra red. It’s very efficient and works well,but of course more expensive than gas. And I guess will continue to.
So given that a good majority of domestic heating is gas,and that new boilers will be banned by 2035 ( not long) ,what are your thoughts.?
