Today a friend told me she was paying ~$1,000/year to heat a 900 sqft space by burning gas. I'd pay ~$750/year to heat my whole 2,000 sqft home with a heat pump at grid rates (with solar I pay ~375). I expect she could heat it for <$400/year with a $2k Airspool heat pump. She refused to consider it!

What a wasted opportunity this could be! Really hope they can push specific action 1. www.visitaheatpump.com 2. Encouraging people to run for local council and decarbonise property 3. Spread the word about clean UK electricity grid.iamkate.com

This IS a big fish to fry (🤤)!
Subsidizing heat pump installations can solve affordability AND climate AND energy independence
And putting people to work & helping voters heat/cool their homes is a much better campaign ad than “we gave you a means-tested income-adjusted tax credit, did you notice”

Hardly the biggest fish to fry, but I'm super excited to see what Maine Democrats can do to with their new trifecta to help rural Mainers get off expensive heating oil and switch to electric heat pumps!

In Maine’s Senate race, it’s heating oil vs. electricity
Energy affordability dominated the debates, but the candidates disagreed about the causes and how to solve the crisis.

The Netherlands took a different approach to heat pumps: train existing gas engineers, subsidise installations and allow new systems to supplement existing heating.

"Entire UK heat pump grant scheme costs 0.5% of what last gas crisis cost Treasury" @jessralston.bsky.social 🤯
Cutting government pump schemes means
📍 More gas imported from overseas
📍 More reliance on North Sea (approx 90% already extracted)
📍 Damage to emerging heat pump industry & jobs in UK

Remind me again who has just cut their heat pump budget, won't set an end date for gas boilers & has been consulting on lowering their clean vehicle mandate 🙄
Ministers urge a switch to cleaner cars and heating but are cautious about a new 2035 target that has EU support but is opposed by countries such as India

lol the national observer actually decided to run a “heat pumps: actually coal powered and thus bad” piece. This is why how we talk about electrification matters a lot.
That heat pump has a 15-20 year lifespan. The electricity mix in Saskatoon is only getting cleaner over that time.

We've been having a heat pump installed this week so the house has been without heating since Monday. The new system has just been turned on and MY GOD you don't realise how good heating is until you haven't got it for a cold autumn week

As an example: we just had a 3.5-hour outage. The sun is just hitting the solar panels, and we've still got 65% of the battery storage. The one thing we changed this morning: I delayed turning up the heat until the sun hit, because the heat pump is the biggest regular electricity usage.
On the more expensive side, a house battery makes power outages unnoticeable. I got a Franklin battery after having solar panels for a while, so during the day (unless we're having apocalyptic rain, or a lot of snow), the house can just go on doing its thing during an outage, even cooking.

Every rental unit must have energy efficient windows, energy efficient appliances, rooftop solar, and an electric heat pump replacing any oil/kerosene heat. The cost of this will be the responsibility of the landlord and they can’t change the rent beyond CPI

Why would a Gas Safe engineer retrain to install heat pumps?
In this letter to the editor, Duncan Jones argues that the answer lies not simply in training costs, but in where engineers earn their money – and why today's incentives matter.

We have had a ground source heat pump since 2012 and it is fantastic. For almost the same annual electricity bill that we paid to keep a 2 bedroom flat freezing cold, we now heat a 4 bedroom semidetached toasty hot.
