| The air source heat pumps I've seen are about the size of an AC unit - what we used to call wall-bangers - and what you'd see on the walls outside all flats in hotter countries. Not as big as a wardrobe. These are what we are likely to be using in our terraced homes. They don't make the high heat that we are used to from our gas boilers in our leaky homes - which is why there is all the current fuss about our homes needing insulation and more insulation. You also may need a bigger electrical supply and bigger radiators ie not quite such a simple like for like swap. Ground source heat pumps are different and you need land and enough space to access it for drilling equipment - so no good for most of our terraced homes. There was an interesting programme last night where a whole village has got together so that they will all be able to use heat from this piped around the village instead of having large oil tanks in their gardens: https://heatingswaffhamprior.co.uk/about/ The Centre for Alternative Technology has courses and webinars lots of free info and webinars - and some old ones on Youtube. There are others like the Green Register with courses too. https://www.simpleenergyadvice.org.uk/pages/low-carbon-heating-options https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/energy-at-home/heating-your-home/ You'll see photos of air source heat pumps on both the above two websites. There is still a Renewable Heat Initiative grant available which will run out soon. The Govt are talking about new grants next year. Then there is also solar which is now far far cheaper than it used to be. |
