I'd assume someone has gathered a load of grants, got something on dinner roofs to get more business then fucked off the company,
The way government schemes have operated on these things the last decade from external insulation, to cavity filling to solar has been criminal and just fuelled cowboy firms that pop up fueled by a grant to then vanish and move on to the next scheme as a new firm

We looked at heat pumps and it's not really viable (without a much higher cost) as it'll involve removing half the kitchen and finding somewhere for a water tank as the old boiler is a combi, for now at least a decent new boiler makes much more sense, being off the gas grid would be nice but not going to happen this time round.
Have a look at the new Heat Geek Mini Store. Clever heat pump hot water tank that can fit in a kitchen cupboard.

I've just started a career in energy advice and need a new boiler. We looked at heat pumps and it's not really viable (without a much higher cost) as it'll involve removing half the kitchen and finding somewhere for a water tank as the old boiler is a combi, for now at least a decent new boiler makes much more sense, being off the gas grid would be nice but not going to happen this time round.
As for rip off merchant firms, I was round somewhere the other week and it looks like someone has installed solar thermal on the roof of this place and their family's house across the road but left them unconnected, with a combi boiler that probably can't run off preheated water and a leaky roof and thoughts of free electric, the street has more installs in both directions. I'd assume someone has gathered a load of grants, got something on dinner roofs to get more business then fucked off the company, infuriating as these are generally poor people who need proper help but are being exploited.
