[Sticky] Heat Pump Books For Beginners – Bodge Buster & From Zero To Heat Pump Hero

Mars · 2024-01-11T22:06:28Z

We're excited to announce the release of Bodge Buster, a comprehensive guide for homeowners on air source heat pump installations. This timely publication addresses the growing issue of substandard installations in the UK's renewable heating sector, a concern reflected in the rising dissatisfaction and doubt about the technology's reliability. Inspired by our own difficult experience with a heat pump installation and the numerous reports from the Renewable Heating Hub community, Bodge Buster educates homeowners on the critical importance of installation quality for the efficiency, performance and running costs of their systems. Packed with essential questions, practical tips, and insightful advice, this book is now available in paperback and ebook formats. Please support us by buying a copy, and help us spread the word about Bodge Buster with your friends, family and colleagues, so that more homeowners can benefit from informed decisions and high-quality installations in their journey towards sustainable heating solutions, and together, we can create a standard of accountability where installers can no longer get away with shoddy installations.

Any options for a physical copy not via Amazon? I avoid them for ethical reasons.

I received this really fun message from a technical compliance manager at a heat pump installation company that’s vacationing in Benidorm and getting some light reading whilst sunbathing.

From Zero to Heat Pump Hero is a real page turner.

I just came across a very unexpected post on social media about this book:

“A few weeks ago I purchased and read “From Zero To Heat Pump Hero”. I did so purely out of curiosity. It’s a good read and definitely worthwhile for anyone who lives in a property that has an air source heat pump and isn’t a qualified heating engineer. It does a nice job of simplifying complex topics and providing sensible, practical advice. Despite what the title might imply, it does recommend seeking the help of a heating professional and the manufacturer at sensible points. So if you’re reading this post, have an air source heat pump, or are seriously considering getting one, then this book is well worth reading.”

@editor I'm hoping to buy these books but avoid supporting Amazon (I don't do Apple), both to support you and to NOT support them. Is there really no way for you to sell directly?
