The most frustrating thing with heat pumps is how little help the government are providing. They will cost a fortune to the consumer, especially in houses that need existing heating systems altered to be compatible.
We need better grants and funding. Way better.
Just because the government pays for it, it isn't free money. Home owners should pay, not society. And they shouldn't be forced. If they wish, they may have cold homes without much heating.
We should probably stop subdising fossil fuel companies so much by this arguement. I'd rather my tax pounds went to subsidising heat pumps than fossil fuels.
