▶️ Watch on-demand a live and dynamic Q&A with Lewis about the installation of a heat pump at his old house in King’s Heath. Participants dove deep into the work he had done, the contractors, suppliers, the overall impact, plus Lewis’ motivations. It was a highly engaging discussion, as attendees attest to below: 

“It’s given me confidence to consider moving over to a heat pump even though I live in an old house that isn’t completely draft free.” Anon

“A great example of how good heat pump system design can lead to an efficient heating system in an "unimproved" home.” Anon

This exciting, family-friendly 2-day event will highlight how we can all live more sustainably in our homes and communities. Offering the latest advice on improving both the energy efficiency and comfort levels of properties – for both new builds & existing homes.

We believe the resident should always be at the heart of all retrofit projects.
