  • Can You Install a Heat Pump Before Insulating Properly?
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode we challenge one of the biggest assumptions in the UK retrofit and heat pump space: Should insulation always come first, or is ‘fabric fifth’ actually more realistic (and better) for the average home?


    Natasha Ackroyd, Rhiannon de Wreede, Danny Murphy, Richard Burrows & Graeme Ross take an unfiltered look at the realities homeowners face: budgets, sequencing, installer messaging, risk, disruptive works, real-world constraints and whether the industry is giving people useful advice.

  • Are Heat Pump Warranties Being Quietly Shortened Behind Homeowners’ Backs?
    Nov 21 2025

    Ideal Heating’s installer cashback warranty scheme... is it a fair model or homeowner rip-off? And with Rachel Reeves signalling turbulence around future heat pump subsidies, what does this mean for homeowners, manufacturers and installers?


    In this episode, I’m joined by Patrick Wheeler (Vito Energy) and Barry Sharp (Renewable Heat) for an honest breakdown of:

    – Why Ideal is incentivising SHORTER warranties

    – Whether installers may be tempted to cut corners

    – How homeowners can check if they’ve been short-changed

    – Why extended warranties are becoming a battleground

    – What Rachel Reeves’ announcement really means for BUS

    – Whether the UK heat-pump market could collapse if subsidies vanish

    – What needs fixing FIRST: pricing, policy, MCS, eco-funding or the spark gap?

    – Is Adia the next big break through for heat pump installations?
