The Ideal Experience for a Heat Pump Customer
Show Notes

In this episode Nathan chats to Paul Eastwood, Head of Energy Systems Planning at OFGEM and the past Senior Climate and Energy Advisor at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

Also joining the heat pump conversation is engineer Barry Sharpe from Renewable Heat  

The discussion focuses on what an ideal customer journey is. Paul has had a heat pump system after Nathan recommended Barry to him. The episode questions if Paul's experience could have been better with the hope engineers may gain some useful insight. 

Topics covered are:

  • Heat loss assessments and independent assessments.
  • Securing quotes for heat pump installations
  • Install options
  • Heat pump controls and operations
  • Heat pump servicing
  • Why do heat pump installs cost more than boiler installations

This was one of Nathan's favourite recordings and he would like to note that Paul is speaking in a personal capacity and not on behalf of any employer.
