I’m about to get a heat pump installed. Octopus said if I know anyone with a referral code then we can both get £100 off. I’ll use the first code that works, but the reward won’t be for a couple of months after the installation.
So that this isn’t just a spammy post - can anyone share their experience of having the heat pump installed? Are they noticably cheaper than gas in practice? tbh I’m looking forward to removing my gas meter and getting rid of the 25p/day standing gas charge. I pay for more for that than the gas itself for most of the year, except the coldest winter months, so that’ll be quite a saving in itself.
I’m not an expert but an oversized pump will cause more starts/stops which will reduce the lifespan of the compressor.
