Look at Australia - they forced the smart metres with laws and the use of cops to enable the installation if people refused. As for heat pumps - yeah they're utter BS, we're stuck with one as when the solar hot water heater / service died (tank failed), the law only permits heat pumps - can't even have solar hot water anymore. The old solar hot water was great even in winter - heaps of hot water 4-6 showers worth! The new heat pump hot water is wonderful in Australia's scorching summer but, come winter you're lucky to get 1.5 showers before someone has to go out, push the "boost" button, wait and repeat a few times over 12-14 hours for more hot water as heat pumps are utter BS in cold weather (under 3 degrees Celsius) - and this is considered "working properly".

We were offered a house on a new housing estate and it is now the norm, the way they do it is crazy. They had a central building that manages all the pumps/system for all of the 30 houses and the lady that showed us around said that you don't have your own bill, everyone pays the same on the estate. It takes an average of everybody's bill and you pay that fee, which worked out dearer than our current 3 bedroom house built in the 70's. She said there would be no point keeping heating off to save money as if someone on the estate was running their heating 24/7 you would still end up paying more (apparently its supposed to help someone pay their bill if they are stuggling). It literally made no sense. I commented on the solar panels on the roof of all the new houses and said does that lower my bill, she said no that is just backup power incase the electric goes off for the heat pump station...

[@Mike-ie4dy]

I installed an air source heat pump in a new house that I built in 2015 to heat the underfloor heating. It constanly froze up and then pumped all of the heated water back through the pump to defrost it, which made the water in the underfloor heating freezing cold and useless. It continued to do this and i eventually had to change it for an oil fired boiler. Lesson learnt.

[@craigmacdonald4987]

Darren I have a heat pump (government installed for free). It is crap. It only heats the downstairs radiators to look warm levels. It does not heat the upstairs. It costs so much electricity the electric suppliers have a separate charge rate and a separate meter for it!!!! It's absolutely useless!! Same with the freezing cold air getting blown halfway up the garden - no joke, it's that much air!

[@michaelbremer-trainor1301]

I live in southern Tasmania. Heat pumps have been being pushed here for 10 years as THE best thing for heating your home. We had one in a rental property which had absolutely zero impact on raising the ambient temperature. The house of course only had single glazing which meant the warm air hit the glass and dropped below the inside temperature. The assertion is that they should NOT be turned off! ie, that once the room temperature reaches optimal comfort level, the HP should just carry on maintaining that temperature. Unfortunately reality is not like that: we can have an autumn or even a summer's day of 26-30° but as soon as the sun sets the temperature plummets to 10-15°. Normally we would fire up the would stove and in 1/2 hr things are toasty. This is not possible with a heat pump. They also claim that they are sooo much cheaper and sooo much more environmentally friendly!? As we all know electricity is not cheap, and, depending upon how it's generated, it can be down right inefficient! When all is said and done, it is about coralling people into one easily controllable means of heating. Once everybody's on board they can remotely control people's usage and reduce it as necessary!

We had ours fitted by social housing. It took a year of fitters coming backwards and forwards until they eventually got it to run properly. Tge bathroom heater is not worth being in there. So bathroom cold all the time. We have had the thermostat moved 3 times too. And it seems different fitters have different thoughts on how it runs. Social housing has had to pay out for insulation , new double glazing and solar panels. My electric provider still haven't lowered my bill in a year. And yes I live in tge quiet of the countryside and my neighbours pump is fitted the other side of the fence outside my bedroom window. It does make a noise.

I'm just going to throw this out there, but you can buy a single phase to 3 phase conveter. They are about $250. Not a huge deal. Also, a heat pump is just an air conditioner that can run backwards to switch coils. So it has to be sized a certain way that it doesn't heat or cool when it's at extreme ranges. They want everyone on electric so they can control what you can do.

Exactly the same setup here. We have at least 1 year of wood stored under cover, but we haven't used much as we have a large kitchen/ living room with under floor heating (using the gas) and we live in there with the 3 dogs and their scruffy sofa!

There are alot of heat pumps on Shetland, in January this year we had 5 days of serious snow. Don't know if those heat pumps worked or failed. But will ask around, after all some of us had five days of being stuck at home because of the snow !

[@deepanus6977]

Anyone looked into who owns shares in these heat pump companies?

[@lat1419]

A lot are made in Germany

[@Kaltybean]

Net zero fffing B S😡😡😡😡

[@Pictman777]

In my last house heat pump cost me £500 a month, house still cold

My dad warned me not to have the free cavity wall installed 20 years ago, so glad I didnt have it. He said there's a reason the cavity is there, the walls need to breathe, if they can't you get damp.

[@luisluis5306]

Heard they are even more expensive to fit in flats?

[@yinglyca1]

All you had to do was ask.. People here in Canada ,Don't like em. They dont work below a certain temperature.. Thats why we use oil.electric,Natural gas or LPG,or wood burning stoves. Ask a Canadian.

All we as the public have to do is to not buy these things . That includes EVs . All this nonsense would stop immediately.

[@beltingtokra]

Got a new gas boiler this ýear, no problem 😊

Great work the truth channel❤❤❤

My next door 😢 neighbour has a large property, she is a single mum who's struggling financially and has had a heat pump fitted just before Xmas ..she has two huge fans put on a north facing wall and her bills have gone through the roof ..

You don't need a 3 phase setup, it's just an air con in reverse.

[@Sjb-on5xt]

Air heat pumps are noisy and useless in cold climates. However ground source heat pumps, whether a hole drilled down 100m or digging a long trench 2m deep for the pipes are much better and all the equipment is inside. You can imagine that only the well off in more leafy areas could afford it.

[@margaretlegallais7474]

Those prices are way to steep. In NZ we only had to pay $400 and govt paid rest. My power bill through winter was about $130 to heat 1 bedroom home.

[@beinspired1487]

I can only compare the noise of a heat pump to the AC unit outside my bedroom window. Here in Texas, everyone has at least one AC unit outside their house, some larger properties will have several (one private home close to me has 7 at least that I have seen), and it is not uncommon for a room to have an additional window unit as well. Apartments/flats will have rows of them one for each family unit. The wildlife don't get bothered by them, lizards seem to like hanging about on them. I occasionally hear my close neighbours' units fire up and at night when it is quiet I can hear various other ones that are close by. My newer unit outside with the fan in is about 1m high by 1.20m sq, which is at least 4 times the size of the original one I had replaced about 10 years ago when I bought the property. Every spring I get the fan unit and the air handler in the garage serviced and the garage unit provides our heat during the winter months. Both units should probably be replaced in a few years as the AC system is not working as well as it was when I had it first put in. I have two 240v breakers in the breaker box and another two on the air handle in the garage, these need to be replaced every 2-3 years as they don't deal well with the humidity we have here. I have to clear the leaves and small twigs out of the exterior unit every spring before I use it for the summer months and then on and off during the year, especially after storms. For the past few years, I have needed to put in about 1lb of freon into the system especially as the system is getting on in years. I am meant to be buying my ex-husband's house this summer if all goes to plan and the sale goes ahead, I will put a second AC unit in, as the one there doesn't work well for a two-story property and it will be a selling point. During the summer many people put canopies over the fan units to help them work more efficiently, I will be building a more permanent sheltered roof over mine as the canvas ones rot out after a couple of years.

[@elizabethsamson5591]

They are not as efficient as advertised, take up too much room for most average households and do not pump out enough heat needed for the average home. Iv'e looked into it as i just moved house and needed a new heating system. Iv'e choosen a gas boiler, if i was younger and had a traditional fireplace at this house, i'd have a traditional log burner- very little to breakdown or replace-and free wood if you can source it.

[@stephenboyd4934]

I had one in NZ they're are an air-conditioner & heater combined, their best operation is basically an air-conditioning unit. They really only work in a climate of the Mediterranean not northern area's

[@anderajohn133]

I got conned into the solar panel scam so I will not be falling for this one as well !
