I'm sharing my journey into home renewable technology to help others. I'm a control freak and like to research things to death. Hopefully I can share some of that in depth research through my videos. I aim to offer reassurance that investing in things like solar, heat pumps or an EV are only good things. Apologies for the waffle!

Is Gas Actually Cheaper? 3 Winters With a Heat Pump: What Really Happens in Sub-Zero Do Heat Pumps Struggle in Winter? Living With a Heat Pump: 3 Winters Later How well does a heat pump perform in winter? In this video I test my air-source heat pump at –3°C and share real running costs, COP, noise levels, and heat output during the coldest week of the year. See how warm the house stayed, how much it cost per day, and how it compares to a gas boiler in freezing weather. This is real-world data from three winters of heat pump use — no sales pitch, just facts. Keywords: heat pump winter performance, heat pump freezing temperatures, heat pump cost, heat pump COP, heat pump vs gas, air source heat pump review, cold weather heat pump test. -------------------------------------------------------------------- One off donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/upsidedownfork Regular contribution: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpgty9Km_rAnzOZhwJUVMqg/join -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up to Octopus Energy for a free £50 - https://share.octopus.energy/bold-mist-390 -------------------------------------------------------------------- My videos are made with DJI gear.
