I hear the Gov ( in it's infinite wisdom) is going to make heat pumps compulsory from 2024 for new builds,is this true ? My concern is because I have no experience of heat pumps, grew up with an open fireplace, then it all changed to central heating. My concern is that a HP will take ages to warm a house and will never be as cosy as a Gas fired boiler can offer, plus I understand the DHW will not be as hot.....just concerned that HP in their present form isn't the solution, also concerned about running costs Vs a conventional boiler, equally concerned about electric cars but that's not a topic for here
