      I live in an all electric house and my winter bills can be as high as £300 a month

      I’ll be looking into getting an air source heat pump installed. Hopefully something like this could help

      It wouldn’t be practical to ban gas boilers. Heat pumps simply aren’t suitable for all properties, and electric heating would be absurdly expensive as an alternative.

      Hmm, are we going to be buying gas from somewhere since our other ally has been playing up?

      I wish they’d just allocate more funding for insulation as not everyone wants to switch or even needs to. Our house (end of terrace) would massively benefit from external insulation to help combat damp and drop our energy bills, but we’ve been told by the ECO scheme that it’s not available and they don’t do it despite it being listed on the website.

      We are lucky that we can afford to heat our house reasonably well, but it doesn’t stop the damp due to our crappy paper thin walls (along with airing, dehumidifier, etc).

      I use oil, and a log burner.

      My heating and hot water outlay per year is about 600 quid if I’m getting the wood cheap/free.

      That said the local timber yard is now selling compressed sawdust bricks that burn like coal for 5 quid per 25kg.

      All the time I can save that much I wouldnt consider switching.

      Would need solar massive battery back up and said heat pump.

      We only need to heat water. Just make electricity cheap enough and it opens up lots of simple solutions for doing this.

      For the longest time I thought that heat pumps are some kind of new fancy world changing technology.

      Turns out, it’s just an aircon that can both cool and heat the house. Like, you know, basically every single a/c from the recent decades. Wasn’t even aware there’s a/c out there that can only cool.

      These have been insanely popular back home in Bulgaria where gas is crazy expensive so people use electricity for heating. Downside is, you basically have to run them 24/7, since there’s no „body“ to continue radiating heat after you switch it off, the room gets colder almost immediately. With how expensive electricity is in the UK, I don’t know how feasible this is …
