Labour verabschiedet in #Großbritannien das #Heizungsgesetz, das wir auch hätten haben können. https://eupolicy.social/@Akshay/116283575213518014

“Developers will be required to install solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes in England as part of updated planning requirements published by the government.”

I just got my feed in tariff payment for the winter (mid august to mid march)

It covers my total power bill for the same period

Summer is going to be even better

At every step on our low-carbon journey there have been lots of people saying it won't work.

This tech is so good that the subsidies keep getting reduced - which is fine - the tech keeps getting cheaper and better.

Yesterday discovered a fault in our heat pump system (installed august last year)

It had been making a gurgling noise, so I checked the pressure, it was low so I filled it.

noticed it was low because of a slow leak

Called octopus today, an engineer arrived on site a few hours later

One compression joint needed tightening

Annoying to have a fault, but it's a bit of the plumbing that could have failed on any new system

Very happy with the after care from octopus

I’ve had a heat pump installed and now my house is heated without using any gas. Great!

I often debate about #DIY or buy with larger projects. Right now I'm debating taking on putting in a new heat pump by myself or hiring it done.

After installing a mini split by mysel, I feel like a heat pump isn't much different. But I would also have to spend a significant amount of time in my dirty / cramped attic space putting together a new ducted air handler.

Will wait for the quote to decide.

Oil is 19th century technology that provides funding for conflict prone parts of the world. Those conflicts affect the whole world every time sparks fly.

We have 21st energy technology that does not fund global conflicts and doesn’t pollute the air we breathe. We need to drop the shackles of the oil lobby and invest in building out 21st century technology. It is a matter of national and international security.

Ditch the dinosaur juice, it is simply not of this era anymore.
