How much more does a heat pump installation cost?
How many years before the heat pump pays for itself?
I've got friends and family who installed solar panels a decade ago and claim they haven't "broken even" (the investment hasn't paid for itself) yet and that they may never b/c they're now facing maintenance, upgrades and/or replacement of old components. Also their insurance went up b/c of the solar installation (higher likelihood of roof damage, greater risk of fire, etc.)
I'm a KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) kinda guy and have remained unencumbered by these "social complexities" so far.
- lxgr 3y ago> How many years before the heat pump pays for itself? In most cases very few, given European electricity prices. The real problem is that it's usually not possible to just switch to a heat pump in an apartment building, and that's assuming you own and don't rent (and ownership is also much less common in many parts of Europe, although I think it's a bit higher in the UK).
