[Sticky] Heat Pump Books For Beginners – The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps, Bodge Buster & From Zero To Heat Pump Hero

Mars · 2024-01-11T22:06:28Z

Our latest book: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.

We’ve had a mention in the Financial Times. 👀

What’s encouraging is that mainstream media outlets like the FT are increasingly recognising that the conversation around heat pumps isn’t simply "heat pumps good" or "heat pumps bad". The real story is far more nuanced. Design matters. Commissioning matters. Controls matter. Installer competence matters. A heat pump is not a boiler swap, and the outcomes homeowners experience are hugely dependent on the quality of the design and installation process.

That’s ultimately why Renewable Heating Hub exists, and it's great to see we're getting recognition.

The article is behind a paywall, but I’ll attach a couple of screenshots below for context, and for those who can access it. Financial Times article is here.
