Joachim, This is Why Heat Pumps May NOT Be The Future TL;DW - Heat pumps are expensive to buy and install and won't pay for themselves for many years. They may also have reliability issues, either with the machine itself or with the sub-par installers who lack experience but were hired en masse by the heat pump vendors to help move volumes. Do I think this guy is believable? Yes, I do. Do I still believe heat pumps and more energy-efficient appliances are the future? Yes I do. It's just that the future is further down the road than the greenies want it to be. Tenchusatsu

Have you ever visited Britain? I've been there a number of times over the years. We visited my mother's friends the first time when I was very young in 1963. With my brother and mother on a trip to Norway to visit her relatives. Homes back then were not insulated for the most part. Yep, no insulation. Cold, damp inside and heated with coal back then. London's air quality was pathetic. My asthma went crazy the two weeks we were there. So this HVAC guy is fixated on homes without insulation, very old housing stock. Coal is not used for heating today. They use NG for heating mostly. It's very expensive there now, a very expensive way to heat with the Russian embargo. All of the local NG is gone. Coal is gone. Finite and burned up. Time to modernize and update that very old.housing stock. Move into the 21st century. London air is pretty clean today and getting cleaner with the displacement of fossil fuels. Especially with BEV's displacing ICE vehicles.
