@chantaryu2@pataterie.ca @burger_jaap@mastodon.social It is different in the UK. Electricity is expensive, and the government are currently unwilling to decouple it from (effectively) gas prices. Plenty of houses where they don't have the insulation to support a heat pump. Also, the last time I looked the government grants didn't allow for heat pumps with a/c functionality.

@chantaryu2@pataterie.ca These new regulations are especially made for improving social housing, where nothing has been done for years and which often has the lowest energy efficiency rating. Most of these properties have ancient gas boilers. Landlords have often simply replaced them with cheap alternatives; this is now to be avoided. @burger_jaap@mastodon.social
