Well, I’ve had it for a year now and I’ve just finished recording a years worth of usage data and have published a cost comparison to gas, plus general experiences in switching to one.
It’s been a great decision! Thanks to the RHI it’s MUCH cheaper than gas, it’s cleaner, cheaper, quieter and we love it!
I hope this is helpful to anyone considering a heat pump switch
That’s good to know, thank you. I’m worried about how pumps might work in a very cold winter. We all know climate chaos is not a simple warming process and might lead to colder winters, and I’ve heard heat pumps struggle when the temperature gets much below -3. I guess in Brighton there hasn’t been much of an issue?
From everything I’ve read about heat pumps used across Scandinavia, cold temperatures are not a problem. The ECODAN we have states that it works well down to “even as low as -25°C”. If the UK got that cold at the moment, I think a lot of gas boilers will start having a lot of trouble
