    I haven’t joss but I want a hybrid pump and I don’t think the Octopus pump gives that option.

    I can get an interest-free loan and up to 75% of the cost of the pump, fully installed, up to a max of £7500, from the Scottish government. I think it’s the same in other parts of the UK. If I install a heat pump it also opens up an interest-free loan to install a home battery and if I install solar I will also get the interest-free loan and a grant of £2500.

    I am waiting for the heat pump company to give me a price and a price for solar at that point I can calculate whether or not it’s worth it financially.

    The electrician says it makes total financial sense and he is about to do it and he’s looked at all the current costs for air pumps and electricity costs and it’s a “no-brainer”. He already has solar and battery storage and his monthly DD to Octopus is £35. He lives in a three bed bungalow.

    He sells electricity back to the grid @15p per kwh when he produces more from his solar so he is delighted with his battery system and just want the air pump to get even more savings.
