In this episode, we share our thoughts on the recent BBC Panorama Show ‘'what they really mean for you series: Heat Pumps’ with Glenn Brewer, Director of Renewable & Low Carbon Heating, at AES. 

Following the lack of focus on heat pumps, we address the various points raised in the show and discuss its failure to highlight the crucial part heat pumps will play as a direct alternative to the 1.7 million boilers we are continuing to install in the UK. 

The UK is behind. Europe is miles ahead in the transition to renewable energy, having already fitted 20 million heat pumps, and countries like Norway have switched 64% of their homes, whilst we are at 1% and still reliant on expensive insecure gas supplies. 

We discuss the disappointing, light focus on heat pumps in the show and the missed opportunity to inform homeowners of useful key facts about renewable heating systems.
