#ClimateDiary We are in intense #Heatpump vs new boiler discussions in our household at the moment, and it is quite something how geopolitics and radiators (and other practicalities like: will the humming be loud?) all swirl through my head at once.

(Our house is old, terraced and high ceilings - it looks like it’s not impossible but challenging. Costs come into it too, of course. Also worried on this front: might geopolitics mean i will not earn any money next few years?)

I haven't seen anyone mention HeatGeek (Adam Chapman) a useful resource.
YouTube, Instagram articles and Twitter (sadly) but which is where many of the HP installers are/were.
This isn't the best site as it look like they are selling but their primary USP a couple of years ago was training up installers how to calculate the demand maths effectively.

There's some really good installers collaborating with them.
Simon is one.

There's loads to overfill your brain but a read around this might be helpful (hopefully)
Nb - Earth Notes (in Yr feed) is definitely worth a follow.
