@DanNeidle I generally agree with you here @DanNeidle, but it would be interesting if they cut it on electricity and not gas to reduce to ratio between gas and electricity prices, which would help encourage the uptake of heat pumps, for example.

After two years of research and a lot of help from Twitter, I finally have a heat pump! Lots of thanks to @jesseb4me, @Merrion, @jimmybb, @techpoodle, and countless others I’m sure I’ve forgotten.

@Ewbank_1 @EVPuzzle @johntisbury @betateachpod We had a Daikin 4-port installed in late 2023. It’s provided all of our heating since then. 1908 Edwardian end-of-terrace house. It’s transformed the comfort of our house. Happy to talk!

@WinterSling @renewablewriter I can now tell my fellow local residents about my A2A HP install without fearing one of them going grassing to the local authority :)

@UbnTricky @HMRCcustomers Not only have @HMRCcustomers closed it a day early, I've just looked back at a screenshot I took a couple of weeks ago to realise they presented the deadline as 25th April, not 5th April:

@renewablewriter @dan_grey @OctopusEnergy I want to be clear - these aren't tight terraced homes. My parent's home is an ex-council house built in the 60s. They've built a side extension, but the neighbours at the start of the next terrace have not. The gap between the homes is far greater than most.

@renewablewriter @dan_grey @OctopusEnergy Hi Matt. I'm pleased the 1m rule has been scrapped, but how does having the flexibility to site your heat pump nearer to your neighbour's boundary help you when the noise restriction is to do with the distance to the middle of the nearest liveable room's window?

@renewablewriter @dan_grey I strongly dispute this. My parents just had a heat pump installed by @OctopusEnergy. They needed planning permission because of the noise measurement. The affected property was on the end of the next terrace along, with a wide enough of a gap for them to build a side extension.

@levelsio @manoj_ahi I do the same. I used to keep a lot more in the company, but there’s always the “what if I get sued to oblivion?” fear.

@Merrion @MrSimonBennett I thought those plant sales would make the cost worthwhile?

@ewan_chamings @theolodian @L__Bow @NoPoke @Protons4B Sounds like a good idea if that works for you! I went for a 4-port, and it covers my whole house: x.com/timothymortime… The downstairs bathroom can get a little cold. We're going to put a wall mounted electric heater in there for when we're having baths.
