That's not true. Both endeavours are long - if you wait to start electrifying heating until the grid is fully decarbonised, you'll be waiting for a decade before starting another decade-long thing. If both are done in parallel it sill, of course, be much faster.
- mhandley 3y agoI guess you're talking about as a country. But as an individual in the UK, I'm better to wait. Switching now doesn't help CO2 emissions and sometimes hurts, prices will likely be lower in future as production scales up, I can invest the money in the meantime, and I can get a brand new heat pump at the point it actually does help. Instead I've focussed now on better insulation.
