	RE: Renewables & Heat Pumps in the News By Majordennisbloodnok, 8 minutes ago Forum Renewables News
	I agree, but with a caveat. I remember some time ago watching a TED talk about strategic planning for reduction of carbon emissions and it suggested that if people can be encouraged onto one form of p...

	Not sure that's fair, the BUS isn't designed for low-income households so I'm not sure I'd expect them to receive them? There are other schemes designed for lower-income households to reduce bills and...
	RE: Renewables & Heat Pumps in the News By Transparent, 12 minutes ago Forum Renewables News
	Well that's the sort of radical thinking we need at the moment. 🙂 Overall I think the heat-pump schemes are their own worst enemy. We all know of botched installations, and that makes househo...

	@rob-of-york Agreed, a hybrid approach has always been championed but never supported so far by the Gov. I also agree that the use of AC in the summer as well as heating in the winter is lower C02 emi...

	The Evaluation of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: 2026 Final Report makes for interesting reading, see: ASSETS.PUBLISHING.SERVICE.GOV.UK "https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6ab148ad65fe7986c...
	RE: Renewables & Heat Pumps in the News By ASHP-BOBBA, 2 hours ago Forum Renewables News
	@editor Do you think it will be for the better or we will see the collapse of the ASHP industry as we know it, think about the amount of money and time gone into all of this and now imagine, I assume ...

	RE: Air-to-Air Heat Pumps & Air Conditioning: UK Heating and Cooling Q&A By springswood, 3 hours ago Forum Air-to-Air Heat Pumps & Air Conditioning
	Thanks for that, quite interesting. I liked the bit about judging the quality of installers by their vans. I was quite surprised when one of my neighbours beat me to getting a heat pump. The people wh...
