Heat Pump Running Costs: Could Your Settings Be Costing You?
Heat pump noise, running costs, confusing heat loss calculations and winter settings — Graham Hendra tackles the questions worrying homeowners on the Renewable Heating Hub forums.
As the heating comes back on, so do the questions. Should you leave your heat pump running overnight? Can you keep your existing radiators? And why do different installers give you such different answers about the size of system your home needs?

More Heat Pump Does Not Mean More Heat
Heat pumps work, but badly designed and oversized installations can leave homeowners facing appalling comfort, reliability and energy bills.
JT Stewart returns to join me for a frank transatlantic discussion about America’s heat pump industry. Why are heating systems routinely oversized? Why are installers still relying on outdated rules of thumb? And how can a homeowner receive a $2,000 electricity bill after supposedly upgrading to efficient technology?

Can You Just Plug a Home Battery Into a UK Wall Socket?
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?
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.
We explore how these products differ from professionally installed home batteries, why your consumer unit and household wiring enter the conversation and the work being done to develop UK standards. John also explains why making a battery easier to connect still requires careful product design, testing and clear consumer guidance.
