RE: Heat Pump Books For Beginners: The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps, Bodge Buster, From Zero To Heat Pump Hero & Britain's Heat Pump Shitshow  

By Bart, 5 days ago

  @jamespa as you rightly say they have indeed, below are some of the changes: DESNZ has publicly stated that, pending longer-term reform, it has already strengthened direct oversight of the existing ar...

  Well yes, except that as we see heat pump insurance, a product of the finance industry not the heat pump industry, doesn't really work (unless the householder is very persistent) notwithstanding the f...

  @jamespa, I think your three questions are useful and they would make an excellent consumer checklist; and my objection is not to educating homeowners. The finance comparison illustrates the differenc...

  If you read the consultation recently launched by the Government you will see that Policy makers have recognised the issues and are proposing fundamentally to change how consumer protection works in t...

By Bart, 5 days ago

  I felt I had to weigh in on this lovely exchange between you both. The underlying issues are abundantly apparent and worthy of note. After over 19 months my install continues to be informed by this sh...

  We probably agree on more than that, it's just nuance that differs. Above all I am a pragmatist. Installers should do a good job and consumer protection shouod work perfectly, but they don't and it d...
JamesPa RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house  

By JamesPa, 5 days ago

        @ian-s Assuming your house is tolerably warm most of the time (ie that it doesn't cool more than say 2-3 degrees during and 'setback' period), that clinchs it. Those consumption...

By Mars, 5 days ago

  @Ian-S, I think @JamesPa’s latest comments are probably the most useful way of looking at this. His point that most of the problems we repeatedly see here come back to oversizing, unnecessary buffers ...

By AndrewJ, 6 days ago

  @ian-s that would point to a 5kW heat pump being sufficient assuming you want the same temperatures across the house. These ought to be considered 15 year lifetime devices and the only thing I would ...
RE: Starting Our Heat Pump Journey: 1962 build 3 bed detached house  

By Ian S, 6 days ago

  @jamespa many thanks for your thoughts, my gas usage for last year was 9309 kWh, 2024 was 9655 kWh, 2023 was 9011 kWh. Most of this would of been heating as we use air fryers and slow cookers a fair a...

By JamesPa, 6 days ago

  49 is quite high, I would prefer 45, but if they are guaranteeing scop it doesn't really matter, and anyway it will in practice be what it will be, dependent only on your radiators and actual, as oppo...
