Turning the heating on has never been so controversial. Not only is it costing us more, but residential heating accounts for around 14 per cent of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and cleaning up the sector has been painfully slow.
The government plans to be installing heat pumps in 600,000 homes every year by 2028. These numbers might seem like a bit of a stretch considering annual installations currently sit at around 40,000 and there is already a shortfall in the number of installers. Is a fifteen-fold increase in five years realistic?
