Personal and household CO2 emissions data for 2025 shows our 3rd full year without gas use. Overall very small changes from last year. Direct emissions from the house/car etc were down slightly (again).
Total household CO2 exc flights = 843kg, inc flights 1388kg,
personal share of total = 559kg.

Across the year the ASHP performed amazingly, averaging a total SCOP for 2025 of 4.47, which can be broken down into:
Heating COP - 5.11
DHW COP - 3.31
I'm very happy with that efficiency which when eventually coupled with PV and batteries should bills will reduce considerably.
