The Happy Heat Pump Podcast
Evan Davis & Bean Beanland
Evan Davis & Bean Beanland talk about anything and everything to do with Heat Pumps. It's a UK objective to replace gas boilers over the coming two decades, with heat pumps being seen as the obvious alternative. It will be a massive project to change the way we heat our homes - we might be installing 25 million of these devices in the next three decades. So what are they? What do they cost? What are the positives and negatives of heat pumps? Always curious about the scale of the transition upon which we are set to embark, Evan will be looking at heat pumps in a dispassionate way, with Bean helping along the way… hoping to inform you if you’re thinking of buying one, if you work in the industry, or if you are simply interested in the journey to net zero. Please do get in touch with any questions and we will try to answer them in future.
