Droppiethinking i'm gonna dust off my shelved notes about investigating converting my house space-heating from gas to RCAC heat-pump/s, & gas storage HWH to heat-pump storage. leave the gas cooktop alone for the time being, as those first two are the biggest consumers & emitters [& i still resent having to replace all my cookware!]. still have no desire nor intention to go for solar & battery [abiding fear of hailstones, & big antipathy to me contributing to landfill later when putative panels need replacing... & tbh, i never have shaken off my distrust of cheap inverters &/or dodgy wiring causing house fires].
i've not yet done any numbers, but i posit the nascent concept of the glimmer of an idea of a plan is attractive to me:
- ethically given i hate being cold but also hate me remaining a climate vandal
- economically wrt operating costs, even sans-solar, coz of consumer heat-pumps commonly achieving CoP 4 & maybe up to 6, AND coz as the grid more & more "greens-up", & legacy gas network increasingly death-spirals, comparative prices of kWh vs MJ are only going one way
- strongly suspect RoI wrt capital costs likely to be utterly unviable, yet the project still remaining attractive to me for the prior two items
the most obvious challenge i know involved here, is i somehow have to overcome my social-anxiety/phobia with all the close-quarter peopling necessitated if i proceed 😱
