  • What's frustrating is that it's taken(ing) so long for it to be mandatory for all new builds to have both exceptional levels of insulation and HPs.

    It's exactly the sort of thing that has lower costs when building from scratch but offers great value over the lifetime of the property.

    That would be the perfect place to offer heavy grants.

    It kills me when I look back to where we where heading in 2010 in terms of state renewable investment, and where we've ended up. So many missed opportunities.

  • It's maddening.

    Our house was built in 2019. No solar, no battery, gas boiler, no EV charger etc. Even the rads are undersized for heat pumps. It's crazy.

    We've installed solar, battery, two EV chargers and nearly a heatpump if Octopus weren't so shit.
