Wish the distinction was always kept between energy and electricity. Electricity is less than 20% of total energy.

@JBLHPJ Could you explain it differently because the point OP is making is about energy and electricity, as far as I was concerned..

Have to compete with EROI in the current market and gas is gar greater, UK uses a lot of gas, it uses more energy for heating than it does electricity, they could do with a little less sales and still be alright.

@MentalLentil-ev9jr A heat pump might have 400% efficiency but at least half of electricity is generated by gas which has a 30-40% efficiency or a gas boiler that can have 90% and above efficiency. Considering the investment has been made for boilers then the energy return on investment might not be greater

@MentalLentil-ev9jr Do you have anything to say about my point? Under no circumstances should you think production emissions are the total emissions of taking out one and reinstalling another. Could you explain how production emissions of the unit has anything to do with overall emissions if gas is the producer of electricity? The issue with cost is gas is so cheap and electricity has a surcharge because of renewables and their false opinion of Net Zero and that it just covers electricity when it doesn't. Solar and hydro cover 2% of total energy in the UK, there is a long way to go but artificially high? Are you able to prove that it is artificially high or the cost or production is the difference? Edit UK burns more biomass than wind and hydro combined.

@MentalLentil-ev9jr PS Can you cite this please, 11 months of use to save on carbon seems...adventurous, considering the damage the gases have caused, mining copper etc? "It takes on average around 11 months for the carbon released manufacturing heat pumps to be recovered from usage" How are you defining carbon released and recovered to mean 11 months is the turnaround time overall?

@MentalLentil-ev9jr "That's an approximate time for the carbon produced during the manufacture, including mining etc, to equal the carbon saved by using a heat pump compared to a gas boiler" If gas generation is 40% efficient and a heat pump 300% efficient then overall we are around 120% efficient, considering more than one heat pump would be needed per house and the oil burners are paid off, it seems like that 20% extra would take a long time, do you have proof of 11 months?

@MentalLentil-ev9jr PS Air conditioning gases have warming potentials of 1400 and 1700 and are still being used and there are seasonal fluctuations of emissions from units that have currently been unaccounted for and these gases still affect the ozone layer in a major damaging way, I'd really love to know where you got the information gas production, etc would take 11 months, if you can cite it? Is it CO2e for everything or just CO2 for example?

@MentalLentil-ev9jr " You obviously aren't going to accept my figures " No need to get snarky, are you saying heat geek says 11 months? Never heard of propane being used, still can't say air conditioners haven't done damage and replacing all existing would be massive amounts of pollution and I've got no cat in the fight, but to people who have paid off their boilers..

@MentalLentil-ev9jr You have a wonderful way of not answering questions.
