... here's an interesting item from today's science and technology section in the Guardian. As you'll see, it's about heat pumps: an idea that I haven't heard much about recently but always sounded interesting. One couple quoted in the article claim that their recent installation will pay for itself within seven years (compared with their oil fired system) and the technology is very simple.
Perhaps all new homes in Thatcham should feature a heat pump? The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister are on the case. According to the article they are 'reviewing options'. Meanwhile things are a little further forward in Sweden where 97% of new homes have heat pumps.
