Slow progress with H100 Fife. Am not surprised personally..... Be interesting to see if they actually progress to pumping into houses in 2027 in Fife..... The offshore wind turbine is already there. The pipes to the houses on the estate were completed in 2023.... They have trained a lot of ...

Insolvency is brutal. I have experienced three, two as a customer and one as an employee. Its not obvious to me how one could design a bulletproof legal framework that protects customers without creating even more perverse incentives for business simply to liquidate with tax owed when times get ...

In light of this conversation, I published this piece today. It's very long (I got carried away), but ties into the mess we've ben discussing.

I think I'd argue that's not the case - in fact that mindset has lead to a load of the backlash against them, as well as a lot of shoddy installs by grant chasing cowboys. The poor end of the market generally rents. They've got no say in a grant scheme, and their landlords don't care and won't car...

@etchedpixels Agreed, just a thought for others. I am A2W plus A2A in the lounge with a conservatory abortion! Why?? Because I use it to warm the glass house if I have a sunny day! Extends its use through the year and stops damp accumulation.

@watcher If you have sash windows, or a plastic door you can "re-engineer" a bit then the Midea is an excellent piece of kit. Shove it out of the sash window, close the sash close to pipe level and then cut a pair of pieces of celotex or similar to go round the pipe and done. Possibly also add some ...

Money Saving Expert has some interesting insights. 😉   Also, perhaps….as an interim?

In another post in another thread I have added my thoughts on the current 'system' which, IMHO, was designed to fail. Recently announced changes should make it better, but there is a long way to go!

I did consider that (and it is a reasonable view) but instead wrote a short paragraph which I then deleted about my view that the only way to persuade most folks to consider let alone install a heat pump is, to coin a phrase (and borrow from a former Labour Minister), 'to stuff their mouths with gol...

@etchedpixels There is a lot to be said for living in a ‘Mature Build’ home, one can move in, assume that much work needs to be done in the way of insulation, re-wiring, re-plastering and decoration etc., but at least one is for-warned that this work may be required to bring the dwelling up to an ac...

I think it's great news. It's a good way of putting the installers on notice that they will have to figure out how to do the job for a proper price or find a new job. The message to the market is nice and clear. The money is going down, it's moving heavily towards loans and you are going to have to ...

  You are correct that until recently the housebuilders would lay a sewage pipe or similar for each plot once they started and then used that to build all the houses over many years to the date of the sewage pipe. That scam has thankfully now been stopped. The other two problems are - Assumi...

@rob-of-york Yes, these are the very reasons we feel we are making a wise decision. We can’t ‘hold back the tide’, if the ambient temperature is rising, we can at least moderate the effect on our lifestyle and keep our cool so to speak.😉 Rewards, Toodles.

MCS mandates an insurance policy so everyone's MCS install costs even more despite the fact you are more likely to get your arm back from a pitbull than money from either. There are some cases where the right fix is to stop all the endless nonsensical regulatory claptrap that is much of your install...
