Change to ASHP

[wiggly critter]

I have excess solar after 20kw battery storage. I plan to remove my bunk tank fed ( not mains ) gas combi boiler with an ASHP. I will continue to use the gas for cooking only. Is this a simple operation?

Wow that is some battery! Not a massively difficult task and you may be entitled to grant for £7.5K to help you get it done.

Probably not if you keep gas for cooking.

I thought that the BUS Grant wasn't impacted by continuing to use gas for cooking?

1. If a customer disconnects from the gas grid, and then a heat pump is installed,
then reconnects back to the gas grid (say for cooking purposes) what would
happen?
2. Can a gas connection be retained for cooking purposes?

 

Answer: Heat pumps are eligible to be installed in properties on or off the gas grid. A gas
connection may be retained or reconnected for cooking purposes.
