Goals:
1. Climate comfort - where you can’t tell whether heating is on or off and you feel comfortable
2. Efficient boiler to minimise costs and pollution

Heat demand: last season 4.26 kW, this season 3.98 kW (-0.28 kW, -7%) at Tin 20.5 C, DeltaT 24 K. Radiator upgrade and steadier control likely helped. 💚🥳👍

Good news! Gas prices are finally starting to rise. They were too low for a while, which made heat pumps less competitive. Fingers crossed that electricity prices will drop and more people will order heat pumps! 🎉 ⚡️🔥 @janrosenow.bsky.social @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com

1/ Gas boiler + upgraded radiators (plus small fans). Summary using CH-only stats (DHW excluded) for performance, and boiler-only gas costs for pricing. Two comparable winter windows + whole-year gas totals. @janrosenow.bsky.social

What's a true "Zero Disrupt / Express" heat pump installation? A HYBRID install: boiler + heat pump. Minimal disruption, no performance worries, and 80% less gas. Add it to the scheme💙 @betatalk.bsky.social @janrosenow.bsky.social @chiefgeekad.bsky.social @octopus.energy @edfenergy.com
To make the switch to clean energy easier, we should aim for lower electricity prices, not higher ones. Lower electricity prices would encourage more people to use heat pumps 💚
