To be fair, most people I know who installed air-source heat pumps are not actually paying significantly less than before. Currently the high electricity prices pretty much negate all the efficiency gains. I'd say insulate first, a very well insulated home barely needs heating. Eg. the passivhaus standard in Germany.
Edit: typo
- drukenemo 4y agoI beg to disagree. I have a new, custom built, triple-glassed, very well insulated home. We moved in Feb before we got our heating pump installed. The house was at 15 degrees, with portable heaters often on. Sun shining thru, oven usage and said heaters couldn't keep it warm.
