💭 Myth: “There’s no funding help available for retrofitting.”

Reality: While navigating the options can be confusing, there are grants and schemes out there - like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, local council initiatives, and energy company obligations. The real issue isn’t a total lack of funding, it’s that access and awareness are still major barriers. The money exists - it just needs to be easier to find and fairer to access 🌱

From £1,849 to £0: How One London Couple Erased Their Energy Bills 💸

Henrik & Inbar took their 100-year-old North London terrace and gave it a full deep retrofit makeover - and the results speak for themselves:

✨ Triple-glazed windows
🧱 Super insulation & airtight construction
🔥 Air source heat pump + MVHR system
☀️ Solar panels generating more power than they use

In 2024, their energy supplier actually paid them £69.

The average UK household paid £1,849 that year. They paid nothing!

Proof that smart retrofits = comfort, sustainability, and serious savings.

🔥 Heat Batteries: The Future of Home Heating? 🔋

The UK government is considering expanding its boiler upgrade grant scheme to include heat batteries, offering a new low-carbon heating solution for homes where heat pumps may not be suitable.

Why Heat Batteries?
🔋 Ideal for the 20% of homes where heat pumps aren't viable.
🔋 Zero-emission and space-efficient.
🔋 Can store heat for days, providing consistent warmth.
🔋 Currently, the £7,500 grant applies only to heat pumps. Including heat batteries could accelerate the UK's transition to greener heating solutions.

Companies like Sunamp and Tepeo are leading the charge, and a trial in 50 homes is underway.

As the government aims for 600,000 heat pump installations annually by 2028, diversifying options is key to achieving net-zero goals ✅
