Just to get to this point we had a suitability assessment for #CavityWallInsulation last autumn followed by the filling (see the blog post https://www.thepetflap.com/2025/12/16/cavity-wall-insulation/). Then we had the level of insulation assessed again and found suitable for a #HeatPump. We're lucky to be having it fitted so soon. All in it will have taken about six months to get it all done.

Our air source heat pump is being installed this coming week! At the moment our garage looks like this, as the kit is delivered a few days ahead of work starting.

As part of the installation we're having 10 radiators replaced as ours are very elderly and inefficient. This was identified during the survey.

So far we've cleared the area around our gas boiler to allow access. I'm fascinated to see what Day 1 brings.

@kennergf @clickhere @stancarey @helvick Battery as option, I'd say (for the moment, till battery prices come down). Please write to your local TDs and Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien asking for this! Contacts here https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-climate-energy-and-the-environment/ and if a journalist, address it to the Press Office! #Climate #ZeroInterestClimateLoan #SolarPanels #HeatPump

☀️ Our best April yet! We're thrilled to share our solar generation report. Record April production (610 kWh!) covered 91% of our house usage and resulted in huge savings compared to the new price cap. The West/North facing panels are now coming more and more into play.

Fascintating approach towards greenhousing using heatpumps:

Still working my way through the figures here:

Very chewy indeed! :D

Getting the consistent temperatures would give at least one extra harvest per year.... :D

LMFAO the company I bought #smartthermostats from wants me to #beta test their newest model, in the #summer of all seasons of the year. Like why? My #thermostats are off all summer since they are for #baseboard #heaters, they should be doing the beta testing for this in #winter, do beta testing for the #AC & #heatpump thermostats in the summer instead. #smarthome
