Relaxing after a week during which we did two mcs heat pump installs from scratch and completed another. Three houses now being heated by heat pumps that weren’t a week ago! Here are the guts of one of the retrofit systems being prepared offsite and us piping up another.

A friend is wondering what he can do with a written off 30kWh Nissan Leaf. The car is in storage near Stowmarket. Any tips on how he can get a suitable price for the battery pack?

"What do you think about hydrogen-ready boilers?" I was asked by tagesschau.bsky.social My response: "If I have a garage, I can also say it's ‘Ferrari-ready’. I could park a very expensive sports car in there. Hardly anyone does that because it's too expensive." www.tagesschau.de/wissen/klima...

BOOM❗ The UK heat pump had a bumper year with 63% market growth. Still a long way to go but if maintained in future years the UK would meet its 600,000 heat pumps installed per year in 2028 target.

As the climate data for 2024 continues to arrive, I've updated my graphic showing changes in various climate indicators for the recent past, and the last 2000 years. Most notable change is a big jump for tropospheric temperatures (TLT) in 2024. [Sea level and land humidity data not yet available.]

@energysmartwv.bsky.social Do you have data for frequency of defrosts as ambient temp drops below 0°C in damp climate? We have high humidity in winter in U.K. and during recent cold snap (-2 — -5°C) output of heat pumps dropped lower than the published data predicted, with defrosts every 45 mins?
