>> I think that's the plan starting in 2025.
I moved earlier this year, and looked at a few new builds round here that did have heat pumps for heating / hot water. But they were in locations that weren’t, as far as I know, on mains gas. They’re not the most attractive things when plonked in the garden of a new build…and while they had underfloor heating downstairs there were conventional radiators upstairs and a very large heat store cylinder
I ended up actually buying somewhere in a converted Victorian building…10 foot ceilings, big windows and the rest of it. Heated by a district heating system that claims to be carbon neutral…no idea how it works…. But, for the sake of the Insulate Britain campaign I am pleased report that the surveyor said “the assessor did not find any opportunities to save energy by installing insulation at this property” It also got a ‘very good’ rating for all features , except main heating control which it scored average. But that’s now been replaced by a smart thermostat with geofencing and other magic so hopefully that’d be a very good now too :)
So I might put a copy in the car, and if I’m obstructed by the campaigners I can beat them with it ;)
