Q: why are so many people now facing #FuelPoverty ?
A: because those orgs meant to help and advice the vulnerable have not understood heating in the slightest and kept up with best practice and technology.
Millions of people could have much #lowerbills if the boiler they'd 1/
had installed was controled properly with modulation (load/weather comp), could be range rated, had a good modulation ratio, had rads designed for DT 30 not DT50. Instead, even today, main advice is turn the wall stat down. The boiler industry makes some good boilers but it 2/
also makes plenty of crap. The UK gas boiler industry became the largest market in the world till 2016 and went he'll to leather to maintain and grow sales. They still do. But those responsible for giving advice also have a role and arguably they did not keep up to date with 3/
what actually engenders an efficient heating system.
