Air Source Heat Pumps
They鈥檙e promoted as a greener and cheaper alternative to gas boilers, but are air source heat pumps suitable for every home? We take the temperature to help a listener decide.
One of your most requested 鈥榳onder-products鈥� so far. Heat pumps are promising to not only make our houses greener but to also cut our energy bills. But will they?
The Government says every home could have one and have reintroduced grants to help buy them. However Nick wants to know if an air source heat pump would be suitable for the 1930s house he鈥檚 about to move into with his family. Given the higher cost of the unit and the extra insulation he needs, will he actually be better off with a new combi boiler instead?
Greg speaks to experts, does a survey on his own home and gets Nick answers so he can decide if a heat pump, for him, would be the best thing since sliced bread.
Do you have a suggestion of a 鈥榳onder-product鈥� making a bold claim that Greg can investigate next?
Send us your suggestions to sliced.bread@bbc.co.uk or send it to Greg direct on twitter or instagram where he鈥檚 @gregfoot
