Heating your home via a direct electrical panel heater or your hot water from an immersion is now lower carbon than using a natural gas boiler. It was 2-3x worse just 8 years ago. There are 2 big issues with direct electrical heating - cost and capacity 2/11
Cost could be largely addressed with agile tariffs [@OVOEnergy @octopus_energy], particularly with smart storage heaters.
Capacity impacts could be reduced by with passivhaus levels of insulation.
But the proposed Future Homes Standard is driving new homes towards #HeatPumps 3/11
