Cut through the heat-pump jargon. In this episode, we decode the terms that confuse homeowners most, COP vs SCOP, ΔT, weather & load compensation, buffer tanks vs volumisers vs low loss headers, short cycling, defrost cycles and kW vs kWh, and show how they impact comfort, bills and real-world performance. With insights from James Moran, Ian Edgeworth, Patrick Wheeler, Simon Wardle & Max Waddingham, you’ll walk away speaking “heat pump” with confidence.
