    ‘I’m a heat pump engineer, this is what Labour could do to make the rollout work’

    This is an advert. Pretending to be a news story.

    It doesn't cost £1 a day-even if the fuel cost is accurate.

    Costs not borne by the householder, but by the taxpayer and/or businesses providing "grants" (which have to be paid by someone):-£9,500

    Costs borne by the householder:-in excess of £13,500:-

    -payment towards pump-£7,500
    -Cost of batteries-£6,000
    -unknown cost of redecoration.

    How long do pumps last? Not told
    How long do batteries last? Not told
    Running cost of the batteries?-not told

    2nd article. Can see why that man's proposals suit that man. Because he makes far more from installing pumps.

    I read it that he paid 5k for the heat pump, and 6k for the batteries.
    I thought about it a while ago, but I am too old.
    I thought to make it really worthwhile you would have to do the lot.
    Solar panels, heat pump, batteries, and electric car.
    If I was younger I would do it.

    Can understand that-it would take many, many years to get the investment back.

    The next problem would be selling the house. People are scared of the unknown-and the replacement cost and longevity of these comes into the equation.

    Prices may well drop. Reliability may well become clearer. But, right now, looks like a large risk.

    I suppose that would depend on what your solar panels produce.
    Batteries have made a big difference.
    Allowing you to store any surplus you produce, and use off peak electricity.
    One of my Grandkids other Grandads just installed solar panels.
    He is in his mid 80s.
    I think he did it to show that he is doing his bit.

    We have just done all of it.

    Value of house is probably going to go up with the investment.

    Value of car is definitely going to go down anyway.

    If we didn't need a car we wouldn't have one. You may as well sit in your lounge and burn five pounds notes as own a car. Always has been the case electric or not.

    If you left out depreciation on the car, because you would get that anyway.
    You would think that savings on your energy bills, and petrol/diesel would cover the cost of the rest.
    Just a matter of time.
    That is assuming it all lasts that long.
    As Phil said, there is no certainty over how long it will last.
    Although I would say that they seem to have been fitting solar panels for ages.
    Batteries, and heat pumps, are a much newer development.

    'She changed everything': Cancer nurse struck off after 'financially grooming' patient



    South Wales Police carried out an investigation at the time but no charges were brought.

    The case of Anita George and Ian Percival highlights the growing issue of financial exploitation of the elderly. The Hourglass charity, which works exclusively in this field, says the problem is now at "epidemic" levels.

    The number of calls it has received since 2017 has risen by 182% from around 4,500 to 12,700.

    In just 14% of economic abuse cases in the last three years, £53m has been reported stolen from the elderly.
