Well, should I get a heat pump?

Above: Ian McKay at the Lewes Climate Hub talking about heat pumps and what you might need to do to your home to successfully install one.

2023 may turn out to be the year when heat pumps went from being considered in the U.K. as niche heating solutions to becoming a major player in the domestic heating market. Ian McKay was heavily involved in the month-long series of events and exhibition held at the Lewes Climate Hub in November and December 2023. It culminated with a talk he gave entitled, ‘Should I get a Heat Pump?’ and was in fact an updated version of a joint talk McKay gave earlier in the year to another local audience. The talk looks in detail at some of the measures you might need to carry out to your property as well as outlining the pitfalls and opportunities of eco-retrofit and heat pump technologies.

You can watch the edited highlights of the talk, which were filmed and produced by the award-winning film maker, Rowland de Villiers by following this Vimeo LINK.
