@editor Hardly worth taking up the memory space for a photo; just a line or two informing passers by that the home is kept warm with a heat pump and a generic graphic of a heat pump with a QR code link to the ‘Visit a heat Pump’ website. I then followed this with a mention of RHH and invited anyone with questions to follow the RHH QR code. (Please send the cheque under plain cover as usual Mars😉) Toodles.

As we head into 2026, I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone here a very happy New Year and to say a genuine thank you to this community.

Renewable Heating Hub only works because of the people in it: homeowners asking thoughtful (and sometimes difficult) questions, members sharing real-world experiences and professionals and experienced homeowners giving their time and knowledge freely. The quality of discussion here continues to be something I’m genuinely proud of.

And a special thank you to the moderators. You do a huge amount of unseen work to keep the forums safe, polite and professional... a place where people can ask questions without being shouted down, sold to or made to feel stupid. That balance isn’t easy, and it really shows. Well done guys!

2025 brought plenty of challenges, plenty of learning and unfortunately plenty of examples of why good information and honest discussion still matter so much when it comes to heat pumps and renewables. As we move into 2026, my hope is that we keep doing what this forum does best: cutting through the noise, sharing what actually works (and what doesn’t) and helping homeowners make better decisions.

Thank you all for sticking with us, contributing, questioning and supporting the platform. Onwards!

Here’s to a calmer, better-informed and more competent 2026 🍻

@editor — thank you @editor, and a Happy New Year to you, and all. The forum is the sum and more of all its members, but I am sure others will agree with me when I say that it is you who sets the overall tone and direction, and for that you deserve a lot of praise. As someone once said, the boy done well. Thank you.

@editor Mars, Much kudos to you for all your enthusiasm and hard work here!  It seems we start 2026 with the rug being removed from under us as discounted tariffs come under threat. Does this justify a forum of its own? I see plenty of topics - lobbying for proper Government action to make sustainable heating favourable; practical ways of alleviating costs; news about this and other supplier statements about tariffs (good and bad) and so on. As things stand the issue seems to cut across a lot of the existing forums here. I'd be happy to kick the first two of these topics off and I have already written to the Scottish Minister for Climate Action and Energy.

Yes!

Well... maybe not an entire forum dedicated to discounted tariffs, but a topic would certainly be of interest. 😉 
We can make a link to it from the existing (very long) topic on Electricity Price Predictions.

And please start by providing a link or two identifying where the news on discounted tariffs can be found.

@dr_dongle There is no such thing as ‘Too Much Information’ on this subject; a dedicated forum sounds like a good idea to me. Toodles.
