Is there any point in going for MCS accreditation if you're not going for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant? MCS is a load of box ticking crap - install something more appropriate for a new build - like a couple of 2kW a/c units and a DHW Heat Pump? This is another clueless ASHP instal - it's a shame they didn't contact you beforehand. Why wouldn't you install the Bosch a/c for heating in residential situations like this? Your website seems to imply they are only fit for "an office, summer house or conservatory extension." but most heat pumps in e.g Sweden are air to air.

How do you sell a heat pump to a customer without deceiving them about gas boiler actually being cheaper to run than heat pumps due to high electricity prices? Paying double/tripple and then paying more on bills is just an awful proposition. Who is the target market here?
@AltoEnergyLimited5 ай бұрын
When it comes to selling a heat pump, honesty and transparency are crucial. It's essential to educate customers about the benefits and considerations of both heat pumps and gas boilers. While it's true that the initial investment might be higher for a heat pump, its energy efficiency can lead to long-term savings, especially if electricity prices are stable or decrease over time. A lot of our customers actually pay less than they did with a gas boiler boiler. We recently visited a developer who has installed ASHP's, battery storage and solar on their properties and the bills were around £13 per month in the colder months. Additionally, heat pumps are more environmentally friendly than gas boilers. This can be an important consideration for customers concerned about sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.
@DigitalPosion5 ай бұрын
@@AltoEnergyLimited thanks. Solar panels and battery storage would be a very small fraction of the market. Remember government is planing to have 600k heat pump installs meaning combi boilers have to come out and heat pumps come in, for properties that aren't even close to being ideal scenario like you describe. Having the whole thing on life support from government grant is also a poor incentive for installer to train up. If the grant changes the whole time getting qualified could be wasted as without the grant there is even less financial sense in installing a heat pump. More discussion around the elephant in the room which is extremely high disparity between gas and electric prices.

@@DigitalPosionin almost all regions electricity cost is 4x the price of gas per kWh. A system achieving a CoP of 4 is already cheaper to run customers can then do even better with specialist tariffs, solar PV and batteries and savings from cancelling the gas service and its associated standing charge, they use much less gas (including what’s burnt in power stations when needed) so more gas at lower prices for me and you.
@DigitalPosion5 ай бұрын
@@edc1569 CoP 4 wont be realistic on mass scale that is being targeted here. Not all properties will get it especially with insulation rules being relaxed. And not all installers will be able to install it to its full potential and verse the customer in correct tariffs and what not. On whole gas boiler will be cheaper to run on average. What we need is for gas prices to go up (and they won't because of political reasons) or electrical prices to go down really to a point where electricity is about twice the price of gas. Then you can issue blanket statements like heat pump will save on your gas bill. But until you can say that with full confidence to a customer really it is a bit of a tough sell as I mentioned earlier.

I'm on a small close of properties owned by a Housing Association. Some houses had air-sourced heat-pumps installed, the intention being to do them all, but the complaints from the first few halted the work. I'm still on oil, not great but better than a retro-fitted heat pump. I have no issue with a properly engineered ground-source pump in a new build with the land available for the coiling, but air-source in the UK during the winter is near-useless.

Think of a freezer. You can set it to -12C and it will take all the heat out. You can set it to -18C and it'll do the same. The difference is the amount of energy needed. In a properly insulated house with a properly installed system, it's still cheaper than gas. Is the issue the heat pump, or the insulation?

@@AltoEnergyLimited True. If you have a new build, making sure that insulation in the entire house exceeds spec, then heat pumps can make sense. Where I am, in a brick-and-block 70's bungalow, with a cavity and solid floor, other than double glazing and loft insulation there's little can be done. I'm sure an air-tightness test would fail miserably. It's due to the complaints by residents who had them fitted that the project was halted.

I'm very pro increasing co2 tbh, very good for the planet. As for the cost of stuff like heat pumps, only way it becomes the normal is if we give it away. Most my customers cant afford a new gas boiler, no chance they can afford a heat pump system . New builds it can make sense on larger houses with buyers who can afford it. Can't see how they can put it into first time homes. Most people under 30 can't afford a house nevermind one with more expensive heating systems. Best to insulated the crap out of them.

ASHP are a good idea in new homes, but retrofitting? A lot of people will have to remortgage to get their houses up to the right spec for ASHP to work properly. I'm all for reducing carbon emissions, but come on, the reliance on electric depends on burning gas to ( mostly in the UK ) produce electric, which, with the huge demand that's going to happen with ASHP and electric cars etc, that's more gas that'll need to be burned, leading to higher carbon emissions, do the math, it's not rocket science. Point is, is doesn't matter how good a heat pump is, it's more about the property it's in, i.e insulation, right size pipework, door and windows, which is why new build works, but the cost would be astronomical when retrofitting to get the property efficiency. Also, what's the point of a green machine if you are supplied with non green electric? Still contributing to global warming even when you think you aren't.
@AltoEnergyLimited6 ай бұрын
Absolutely, they're great for new builds. No one is saying that all homes should be retrofitted with an ASHP. Many are unsuitable for one. That said, plenty of homes in the UK are suitable. Regarding burning gas to produce electricity, you're right, it's likely more gas will need to burned at powerplants to create electricity. The difference is, powerplants are considerably more efficient at doing so vs gas boilers. Plus, over time, more and more of our electricity is coming from renewables (we're at about 40%) and the trend is only going higher.
@gardgas16 ай бұрын
@@AltoEnergyLimited I do agree to point, however, as you say, many homes are unsuitable which means when gas boilers become illegal to install, what option is there for those unsuitable houses? The only way is to spend thousands to get a house to a higher spec that's makes it better for a ASHP but still not ideal. So for example my house, early 70s build, suspended floor boards, windows that are 20 years old, not the latest spec insulation, retrofitting might work to a degree as I don't have microbore pipework, but the house as is wouldn't benefit from having a heat pump fitted unless the extra cost on getting those specs much higher is spent 1st, even then it still wouldn't work at its best and would require to be on for much longer leading to higher running costs. My point is there is no silver bullet, but heat pumps are being touted as the be all and end all, but there is a huge lack of transparency with regards to costs of actually getting something that works effectively as a retrofit and not just as new build, unfortunately £7500 from the government won't go far in a huge amount of cases.
