    21 oktober 2026 · 38 min

    Afspelen
    Plug-in batteries could make home battery storage more accessible across the UK, but can you simply connect one to a wall socket, and what should you understand before buying? Lees meer

    In this episode we speak with John Southern, Operations and Strategy Director at the Energy Storage Association UK, about the opportunities, practical limitations and safety questions surrounding plug-in batteries in the UK.

  7. UK vs USA: Who Has Made the Bigger Heat Pump Mess?

    30 september 2026 · 48 min

    Heat pumps work. So why do so many installations fail? Lees meer

    Mars is joined by JT Stewart from Slipstream for a revealing transatlantic investigation into heat pumps in Britain and the United States.

    Although the two countries use the technology very differently, homeowners on both sides of the Atlantic are being hit by familiar problems: oversized systems, poor design, inadequate training and sales processes that can put profit before performance.

    Britain has largely embraced air-to-water heat pumps. America is dominated by air-to-air and ducted systems. But does either country genuinely install them well?

    Mars also examines how these failures compare with the problems uncovered in his book, Britain’s Heat Pump Shitshow.

  9. Is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme About to Face the Axe?

    27 juli 2026 · 28 min

    Afspelen
    The UK has a new government, a new Energy Secretary and a fresh opportunity to reshape the future of domestic heating. Lees meer

    But will the latest policy changes actually make heat pumps more affordable, more reliable and more attractive to homeowners?

    In this episode of the award-winning Homeowners’ Q&A Podcast, Mars speaks with Charlotte Lee, Chief Executive of HPA UK, about what the new government could mean for heat pumps, home electrification and the wider renewable heating sector.

    The conversation examines the removal of VAT from household electricity and asks whether this first intervention goes far enough to address the long-standing price imbalance between electricity and gas.

    Charlotte also discusses the future of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, the £7,500 and £9,000 grants currently available to eligible homeowners and whether the scheme could become vulnerable as the government reprioritises spending.

  11. Why Are So Many Heat Pumps Failing Homeowners?

    15 juli 2026 · 33 min

    Afspelen
    Are poor heat pump installations being blamed on the technology when the real failure begins at the design desk? Lees meer

    In this episode of the award-winning Homeowners’ Q&A podcast, Mars is joined by heating engineer and design consultant Rob Berridge for a blunt examination of what thousands of homeowner complaints reveal about Britain’s heat pump rollout.

    They explore why some homes remain cold after installation, why high electricity bills can often be traced back to weak hydronic design and why room-by-room heat-loss calculations are only the beginning of a competent system design.

    Rob explains the importance of system water volume, emitter sizing, flow rates, index circuits and low-temperature operation – and argues that too many installations rely on buffer tanks as a substitute for proper engineering.

  12. Did Your Installer Actually Commission Your Heat Pump Properly?

    8 juli 2026 · 27 min

    Afspelen
    Most homeowners spend weeks researching which heat pump to buy. But what if the machine itself isn’t the biggest factor determining comfort, efficiency and running costs? Lees meer

    In this episode of the award-winning Homeowners’ Q&A Podcast, we're joined by Liam Knowles from The Heating People to investigate one of the most overlooked stages of a heat pump installation: commissioning.

    We explore what proper commissioning should actually involve, why so many heat pumps are left running at fixed flow temperatures, how weather compensation should be configured and why simply getting the radiators hot is not proof that a heating system has been commissioned correctly.

    Why do some heat pump systems deliver outstanding performance while others leave homeowners frustrated, cold and facing higher energy bills? Lees meer

    In this episode of the Homeowners’ Q&A Podcast, we sit down with Mark Hall to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the UK heat pump market: installer competency.

    From three-day training courses and heat loss calculations to radiator sizing, buffer tanks, weather compensation and system commissioning, Mark explains why heat pumps require a very different skillset to traditional boiler installations.

    Mark also explains why achieving a SCOP of 4.0+ isn’t difficult when systems are designed correctly and why many of the UK’s underperforming systems can be traced back to basic design and commissioning errors rather than problems with the heat pump itself.

  15. Why Does Every New Heat Pump Come with an Unreadable & Useless Controller?

    17 juni 2026 · 39 min

    Afspelen
    Your heat pump's controller might be the dumbest piece of tech in your house. In this episode of the Homeowners' Q&A Podcast, we sit down with Graham Hendra, now working as a heat pump developer at Haier, who has just returned from meetings in China where the question of controller intelligence was front and centre. He's candid about what the industry is getting wrong, why heat pump uptake in the UK remains stubbornly low and what a genuinely smart heating system might look like in five years' time. Lees meer

  17. Has the Heat Pump Industry Given Up on Telling the Truth?

    3 juni 2026 · 36 min

    Afspelen
    The heat pump industry has a marketing problem. And it's not just the big energy companies getting their adverts banned by the ASA... it's happening in installer proposals, manufacturer brochures and kitchen table conversations every single day. Lees meer

    In this episode of Homeowners' Q&A, we sit down with Simon Wardle of Ultimate Renewable Supplies for a frank conversation about the misleading claims that are leaving homeowners cold, confused and out of pocket.

    Topics covered:

    → The kW badge: why the number on the side of your heat pump is almost always a best-case figure measured at conditions that rarely exist in a British winter

    → "Your radiators will be fine": how zero and minimal disruption installs are creating a new generation of homeowners with rooms that never come to temperature

    → Buffer tanks: why they're still being slung in as standard, what they're actually costing you in efficiency and when they're genuinely needed versus when they're a sticking plaster for poor design

    → "Cheaper to run than gas": the electricity-to-gas price ratio and whether this claim can ever be made honestly

    → Warranties: why homeowners routinely don't know if they're covered for two years or ten... and whose fault that actually is

    From the fundamentals of how A2A differs from traditional air conditioning, to the realities of weather compensation, zoning, defrost cycles and hot water provision, Simon answers the questions your forums have been asking for months.

    We also tackle the BUS grant head-on, including why the £2,500 offer may not go as far as the headlines suggest, which properties are genuinely well-suited to A2A and why the MCS certification landscape remains a significant obstacle to mainstream adoption.
