Nessun divieto sulle caldaie a gas nel piano per le case calde del Regno Unito, ma le pompe di calore ricevono una spinta di 2,7 miliardi di sterline

I live in an all electric house and my winter bills can be as high as £300 a month
I’ll be looking into getting an air source heat pump installed. Hopefully something like this could help
It wouldn’t be practical to ban gas boilers. Heat pumps simply aren’t suitable for all properties, and electric heating would be absurdly expensive as an alternative.
Hopefully this funding isn’t only given to those on welfare or pensioners.
Has the government considered making electricity cheaper?
Hmm, are we going to be buying gas from somewhere since our other ally has been playing up?
So much misinformation and poor mathematics going on here.
I wish they’d just allocate more funding for insulation as not everyone wants to switch or even needs to. Our house (end of terrace) would massively benefit from external insulation to help combat damp and drop our energy bills, but we’ve been told by the ECO scheme that it’s not available and they don’t do it despite it being listed on the website.
We are lucky that we can afford to heat our house reasonably well, but it doesn’t stop the damp due to our crappy paper thin walls (along with airing, dehumidifier, etc).
I use oil, and a log burner.
My heating and hot water outlay per year is about 600 quid if I’m getting the wood cheap/free.
That said the local timber yard is now selling compressed sawdust bricks that burn like coal for 5 quid per 25kg.
All the time I can save that much I wouldnt consider switching.
Would need solar massive battery back up and said heat pump.Â
We only need to heat water. Just make electricity cheap enough and it opens up lots of simple solutions for doing this.
