Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
sunbeam60@feddit.uk 1 day agoThere’s an element of cost and an element of reducing our footprint here.
Be that as it may we are going for a 10 kW array and 24 kWh battery so I’m hoping we can do the heating on our own juice in all but a couple of months. At least if my calculations hold.
But I’m sending four kids into the world. I’d like to do my bit to avoid making it worse for them, so it’s ok if it all together ends up costing over the next 5-6 years.

Fully agree, and everyone who can afford a heatpump should get one to reduce their carbon footprint. But unlike solar, the return on investment doesn’t look good.
