Aberdeenshire Heat Pump Odyssey Part 1: Grants, Quotes and Selection

In this video we examine the options for grants and availability of MCS certified heat pump installers in Aberdeenshire.

We then go on to examine the calculations for heat losses and ask how much running costs are likely to be compared to other means of heating your house.

Finally we examine the heat pump proposed and ask what the biggest selling feature of heatpumps are.
