Heat pumps don't work: debunking myths & misconceptions

Mars · 2023-12-07T13:46:29Z

Many of you here may already be familiar with our separate website and YouTube channel, My Home Farm, where we've shared numerous articles and videos about our air source heat pump. In this journey, we've often encountered messages and emails criticizing ASHPs. Interestingly, over the past three weeks, there's been a noticeable uptick in messages claiming ASHPs don't work. While these messages aren't aggressive, they are often based on misinformation, not helped by coverage from outlets like the Daily Mail and Telegraph, which sometimes fall short in educating the public accurately. In the last year, we haven't produced much content specifically about heat pumps, but this recent influx of inquiries has inspired us to create a series of short videos, each under 60 seconds, for our Renewable Heating Hub YouTube channel. These shorts will directly tackle questions and myths. We understand not everyone wants to watch lengthy discussions about our heat pump, so these concise videos should offer a more effective way to share insights. Stay tuned to this thread, where we'll be posting these shorts as they're released. Please support us by watching these videos or sharing them with people that are skeptical, and new subscribers will us out immensely too. These will be "personal" videos, based on our experiences this winter. PS – let me know if you have any good ideas for videos that would be helpful, insightful or educational.

@technogeek I feel that the solar PV pays for investing in the summer as the reduced production in the months where the heat pump is required will contribute but unlikely to cover the costs - the summer’s production investment goes a long way towards it though.

I applied for my G99 last November. Largely as a result of delays caused by NGED my PV installation wasn't until 1st July. Largely as a result of delays between NGED and Octopus, I have only just got my export MPAN registered. I've lost all this season's export payments, extending the payback period.
