Steve Mason, 58, from Harlaxton, Lincolnshire UK spent thousands on his brand new heat pump system and has seen his bills rocket despite his living room being a mere 57F and having to sit in layers of warm clothing. The company director from Harlaxton, Lincolnshire, who started using the system last July, said 'I asked for a cost breakdown from my energy company to see how much I've spent. From July 1 to March 23 the total spend was £4,548. Seventy per cent of that is from the air pump. If I fit a really efficient oil system with solar panels on the roof so it would still be eco-friendly and heating would have cost me half of what it does. It's soul destroying. There was one month where my heating bill would have been more than £1,000 without the government heat pump grant. How can anyone afford a thousand pounds on domestic energy? It's utterly nonsensical. Fewer than 10,000 pumps have been installed - of a 30,000 target - during the first year of a scheme giving households a £5,000 voucher to help cover the cost.
