I priced up a heat pump system for my house. £2.5k for all the bits and at most two days to fit. What was the supply and fit price I was quoted from a government listed installation company that I have to give the work to in order to get the grant? £8.5k. So they were wanting to charge me £6k for two days installation work. The government is simply not serious about this until all such companies, ..... and that is all of them on their lists, are brought to heel. It isn't hard to check up on this and that is what these numpties in government should be doing. Heat pump heating systems are almost four times more energy efficient than storage radiators and yet up and down the country the government is still allowing storage radiators to be fitted. This is a national scandal. And if insulation was free from B&Q if fitted for a fixed fee of say £500 for loft and underfloor that would do far more for the planet than all of these plaitudes we keep hearing. Until we get people into government in this technical world who are engineers trained to understand such things nothing will improve. Engineers are not people who come to fix your washing machine or car they are the people who design them and wouldn't you rather have an engineer running things rather than a failed bank manager, a failed social worker, a failed teacher, a failed trades unionist or a failed lawyer ..... this list of failures make up 95% of all our MPs.
