Heat Pumps Without Grants: Would You Have Installed One & Will You Now?
@jamespa I’m less inclined to believe the shift of taxes onto electricity was to cripple the transition as unintended consequences. There’s plenty of evidence on various governmental decisions that accidentally self crippling are more frequent than malice. There’s plenty c@ck-up theory of life basically.

Yesterday the government said
"To make heat pumps available to even more households, government previously consulted on different purchase options, including the possibility of leasing a heat pump with no upfront cost, but with low, monthly payments instead.
Following significant feedback to the consultation, government will continue to explore the feasibility of introducing such schemes, with further announcements to be made in due course. "
This would help those who can't afford the upfront costs and depending on the lease may well reduce the risk to many consumers of poor installs and help many budget. It is certainly something I would consider, just like not paying up front for an EV.
@transparent did you contribute to the consultation mentioned?
