In exciting HVAC news the @heat-geek.bsky.social folks have gone Dutch - and hopefully Flemish too! Will be interesting to see what kind of interest they garner from installers in BE and NL.

Air to Air Heat pumps shouldn't have the BUS grant. Its not a commonly shared opinion, but I believe the UK Gov were ABSOLUTELY right to only give the £7500 BUS grant to Air to water (A2W), and not air to air heat pumps(A2A). The Boiler Upgrade Scheme ...

Does it actually make sense to fund Air to Air installations? From this perspective not no..

THE NUMBERS ARE IN!

It’s been a full year since @skillbuilderuk challenged us with a heat pump system that may have proved they don’t work in UK housing stock

A typical UK property that was nearly 150 years old with uninsulated solid brick walls and a heat pump that cost a 2 x more than the boiler

When bus went up the cost to customer definitely went down..

All these reasons are simply where those without sufficient training (ie they’ve only done the current crap go training out there) have attempted and failed

It’s just their dashboard everyone uses.. search MCs dashboard

Installation prices without bus are here. There’s a trend going upward due to supply demand.. but costs remained relatively stable so bus went to customers.. to think installers price this way is to not understand supply/demand.

It’s the data on all MCs (ie grant) heat pump installations…. It’s an N of all of them rather than 1

I will ask about air to air but microbore is fine and you don’t need bigger radiators that won’t fit, they are myths

Increase in bus measurably reduced installation costs (more than the bus increase) as shown by the MCS data

Having had my LPG ticket I can tell you that you definitely cannot just put lug it around anywhere but this is a good one for sure!

The most efficient way to control a system is to remove them, and simply balance your system to heat up evenly.

Although you’re unlikely to have growth I’d advise a 60c cook followed by running all hot outlets for a few mins

It’s not an area we focus on.. We’re FCA so can’t give financial advise in that way.

It’s a good point. I changed to a flexi tariff when I was receiving fit for my hydrogen fuel cell.. which was fine..

That is the point. Our training is digital. We would train them.

They do many things like that which I don’t understand I agree. Still think they’re great though

Yes but when we built the website we didn’t do it with only you in mind.. we built it based on the other 28 million homes 😂

On oil you would save WAAAAY more!! Probably about double the figures we’ve stated

It’s calculated on degree data overlayed with the specific price for that have hour.. not an average…
