@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.

@syllopsium@peoplemaking.games @chantaryu2@pataterie.ca @burger_jaap@mastodon.social The ban on cooling is daft. But a heat pump works as well as any heat source into a poorly-insulated room. (Expensively) My recipe would involve air to air heat-pumping into one room, with insulation in that one room, leave out the water heating since that is easily accomplished, and add a bit of insulation to that room. 3 days and rising per year, run it as a cooler. So one room as a refuge.
