wanna see my snake?
Am I missing something with this scheme? Heatpumps are useless for anyone not in a really well insulated property, and ideally the heating system should be designed with heatpumps in mind not retrofitting. Ideal for a kingspan box with underfloor heating, terrible for a 1930s semi with concrete floors and a loft full of rockwool. I'm assuming that just like the green homes grant the money will disappear into the private sector with no obvious benefit, anyone have experience of a heat pump in action in anything but a house designed for it?
EDIT: Realised I should provide a link, even the BBC are criticising it!

Heat pump grants worth £5,000 to replace gas boilers not enough, say critics
The England and Wales subsidies cover just 90,000 gas boilers out of more than 20 million households.
