So our house is supposed to be GREEN, good insulation and running an “Airsource” heat pump which is greener than a green thing that is really really green. The idea is it sucks heat from the air and converts it to energy, yeh right!!
So no surprises then after a 33 day period of using this Uber efficient system to get our first electric bill £276, yup that’s right more in electric than we used in 4 months in an inefficient oil fired heating system in the last house.
So given we have a field, this is our next investment
I want to believe in magic, Santa, wizards (not Potty Harry tho) and that everything has a porpoise. I also want to believe the magic that is “Air Source” heating systems actually work by extracting heat from the air and transfer it through the wizardry of science into heat internally, but I’m no idiot. How do you extract heat from outside at -3 degrees to heat up your house, it is not physically possible if the house is running at +20. Somehow I think there is a better chance of seeing a Fatman in a suit skimming across the planet in one night.
