Just to get to this point we had a suitability assessment for #CavityWallInsulation last autumn followed by the filling (see the blog post https://www.thepetflap.com/2025/12/16/cavity-wall-insulation/). Then we had the level of insulation assessed again and found suitable for a #HeatPump. We're lucky to be having it fitted so soon. All in it will have taken about six months to get it all done.

Our air source heat pump is being installed this coming week! At the moment our garage looks like this, as the kit is delivered a few days ahead of work starting.
As part of the installation we're having 10 radiators replaced as ours are very elderly and inefficient. This was identified during the survey.
So far we've cleared the area around our gas boiler to allow access. I'm fascinated to see what Day 1 brings.

After two winters of heating my backyard greenhouse (tropical plants) with fan blown electric resistance heating (read: electric space heater), I'm looking for a more efficient method.
I see others using methane or propane, but, yuck and I don't want to cause an explosion.
I haven't seen examples of people doing it, but would it be possible to wire up a 120v mini split?

Heating the hot water using the #HeatPump on eco mode over the past few days has cost less than the gas standing charge would have been. So we are already saving money since the gas meter was taken out. Ok pennies or tens of pennies per day in the summer but it adds up.

It must be getting drier out there as even so it's cold (as in sub zero temperatures) outside my shed office #AirSourceHeatPump has not done the defrost cycles overnight. The previous few nights it's done a few each night.

Finally got an #AirSourceHeatPump installed, after many false starts and a fair bit of #procrastination on my part.
And this morning I deleted my #Twitter / #X accounts and apps so i don't have to put up with #Trump / #Musk sewerage on my timeline anymore.
So, overall, a good week for plumbing improvements.

I missed this comment to one of my heat pump videos on YouTube
People seem obsessed with the cost. As it turns out, over its lifetime I’m confident it’ll be at least the same as running as gas boiler with the distinct possibility it’ll be much cheaper.
But that isn’t really the point… 👇🏻

My answer tells you what I think of it 🙄

Do any #Scottish people on here have an #AirSourceHeatPump? If so, thoughts please.

This is a couple of weeks during April on the Cosy Octopus tariff.
There are 2 low rate sessions when I run my ASHP for hot water or charge my EV.
It’s early days. It’ll be interesting to see how I’m doing in May, but overall this is a promising start.

A comment left to my #YouTube air source heat pump installation video. Light touch paper and retreat to a safe distance… 🙃

Our journey to more #Sustainable living continues...
Last week we had an #AirSourceHeatPump #heating & hot water system installed to replace the gas boiler. We're snug at last. No more gas!
All new buildings should have these & I wish there were tax incentives to fit these in all homes.
The electricity used to power it comes (partly) from our #SolarPV panels. We're getting there...

#AirSourceHeatPump installed! More drainage! And the start of the garage too...
-
#Selfbuild progress: treatment tank for waste is (finally) in, albeit not yet connected to the house.
And we have a plinth for the #AirSourceHeatPump.
Obviously won't be _done_, but feels like it might be something we can live in by Christmas! 🤞
