If his experience anything like mine, the wood burner will be on more often than the heat pump.My son has a heat pump. He also has a woodburner in reserve.
Seems a sensible compromise, interested to know if he has a newish house with underfloor heating, insulation etc.My son has a heat pump. He also has a woodburner in reserve.
It isn't a new house, but he spent most of last year (while furloughed!) taking the plaster off the inside walls and fitting breathable insulation and then having it replastered with lime that meant a specialist person.Seems a sensible compromise, interested to know if he has a newish house with underfloor heating, insulation etc.
Just wondering how those new fangled heat pumps are coping with a shortage of electric, I have a feeling the governments hope of all log fires being ripped out of our houses have hit a bit of a brick wall in some areas!
Wondering how Number 10 is heated, after all a fair chunk of money has recently been spent on the building I understand!People burning fossil fuel to keep warm in winter should be prosecuted. How dare they avoid hypothermia, they should just accept their fate and die.
I'll have another glass of your mulled wine thanks Boris.

That's shocking there should be heat pumps plastered over the outside of Number 10 & all government buildings by now! What is our glorious leader thinking.

There is underfloor heating in the kitchen extension but not the rest of the house.
When we lived there it felt as if the wind was blowing right through the walls, it was a very cold place. The insulation is only on the outside walls of course. It is much, much warmer and the central heating wasn't even on last week and siting in the living room was warm enough.
He used to work for a construction company that had been specifying heat pumps for large scale projects for several years. He did the calculations without including the woodburner as a safety-net. Also the electricity board wanted to charge £17,000 for a change to the power lines for the installation. That wasn't solved until the boss of the heat pump firm got in contact with whoever was in charge at the electricity supplier that they finally saw sense.
As old Starmy says it's one rule for Tory toffs & one rule for the rest of us, how many Tory MPs do you think are already planning to rip out their boilers, wood burners etc & install these wonderful heat pumps, I bet you could count them on one hand!Downing street is infact graded an E rating on its epc.
dont you believe it, I understand most Tory MPs have woodturners, merrily claiming their RHIAs old Starmy says it's one rule for Tory toffs & one rule for the rest of us, how many Tory MPs do you think are already planning to rip out their boilers, wood burners etc & install these wonderful heat pumps, I bet you could count them on one hand!
