New Home with Heat Pump and no Solar
Good morning all, we have just agreed to purchase a new build that has no gas but a heat pump for hot water and heating.
A different phase on the development has solar as standard, but gas and no heat pump, whereas our phase has no solar but heat pump. I’ve set some money aside for a battery when I thought it would be coming with solar (and got the builders to make a contribution to our upgrades given no solar..)
I was hoping for some feedback from those who have a heat pump as to how much they’ve cost to run vs how much with solar? And if you’d recommend a battery to assist it? We are due to move in in October so I expect even if we got solar installed quickly it wouldn’t make too much of a difference to running over winter.
We are also with octopus at the moment and would probably go with them for installation, so if anyone’s had experience of that any feedback would be welcome.
