Architect and TV presenter George Clarke has said that an air source heat pump is 'one of the best things' he has ever bought for his own home. Recent reports have seen homeowners slam the devices, which are being championed by the UK Government as an alternative to gas boilers.
One homeowner said the pump - which he paid £25,000 for - was costing him £850 a month to run and didn't keep his house warm. However, George says the pumps are 'phenomenal'.
But the presenter of shows including George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces and Old House New Home makes no claims they’re an affordable option. Although he says that over the long-term, the heat pumps can save a lot of money on bills - and they’re far more environmentally-friendly than standard boilers.
