Your heat pump's controller might be the dumbest piece of tech in your house. In this episode of the Homeowners' Q&A Podcast, we sit down with Graham Hendra, now working as a heat pump developer at Haier, who has just returned from meetings in China where the question of controller intelligence was front and centre. He's candid about what the industry is getting wrong, why heat pump uptake in the UK remains stubbornly low and what a genuinely smart heating system might look like in five years' time.

Home battery sales in the UK have doubled in two years. Every solar company has added one to their quote. Every energy supplier has a deal. But is anyone actually explaining what you need to know before you spend thousands of pounds on a box of cells bolted to your wall?

In this episode of the award-winning Homeowners' Q&A Podcast, James Clark from Elite Services Group offers an honest, unfiltered conversation about what the industry gets right, what it gets badly wrong and what every homeowner needs to understand before committing.

The heat pump industry has a marketing problem. And it's not just the big energy companies getting their adverts banned by the ASA... it's happening in installer proposals, manufacturer brochures and kitchen table conversations every single day.

In this episode of Homeowners' Q&A, we sit down with Simon Wardle of Ultimate Renewable Supplies for a frank conversation about the misleading claims that are leaving homeowners cold, confused and out of pocket.

Topics covered:

→ The kW badge: why the number on the side of your heat pump is almost always a best-case figure measured at conditions that rarely exist in a British winter

→ "Your radiators will be fine": how zero and minimal disruption installs are creating a new generation of homeowners with rooms that never come to temperature

→ Buffer tanks: why they're still being slung in as standard, what they're actually costing you in efficiency and when they're genuinely needed versus when they're a sticking plaster for poor design

→ "Cheaper to run than gas": the electricity-to-gas price ratio and whether this claim can ever be made honestly

→ Warranties: why homeowners routinely don't know if they're covered for two years or ten... and whose fault that actually is
