Heat pumps are increasingly in the news as the Ukraine crisis spurs some people to look at how they can reduce their reliance on gas. But as many listeners will know, keeping comfortable in our houses isn’t just about the heat source – it’s also very much about the controls. In this episode, we explore the interface between heat pumps and smart thermostats – at a high level, as well as getting a bit techie in looking at some of the practical challenges.

Jon Slowe is joined by Helen Boothman, Managing Director, Evergreen Energy; Karolis Petruskevicius, founder of Homely and Head of Smart Home at Evergreen Energy; Matt Trewhella, CEO of Kensa Heat Pumps; and Arthur Jouannic, Delta-EE expert on the topic of home energy management and smart thermostats.
