Professor Richard Fitton and Grant Henshaw recently welcomed Evan Davis from BBC Radio 4 for a new programme exploring heat pumps. They showcased the lab’s research and offered practical insights into how heat pumps can work in UK homes.
The programme covers:
- How heat pumps operate and why they are already widely used overseas and in some UK new-build homes.
- Practical challenges for older, less well-insulated UK homes that may require additional upgrades.
- Real household installation experiences and expert advice to help listeners judge whether a heat pump could suit their home.
The discussion provides a clear and engaging look at the role of heat pumps in supporting low-carbon, energy-efficient homes.
