What happens with #heatpumps in the depth of #winter when there's a #powercut?
If it's out for more than an hour or two how long does an #insulated #house hold that type of #heating? (If you're in an old #building without #cavities to insulate your position will be precarious).https://www.shetlandtimes.co.uk/2024/09/14/power-cut-affects-hundreds-of-homes
