Jersey might be small, but it's big on electrification. Tom Wilson from Jersey Electricity explains how the island's low-carbon power, housing stock, and pricing structure make heat pumps a compelling option, especially for oil-heated homes. From overcoming misconceptions about noise to using smarter design software and exploring "fabric fifth" thinking, this episode dives into what it takes to turn heat pumps into a mainstream solution.

Myself, Sune Nightingale and Craig Gilhome have decided to set up a heat pump mentorship scheme. The idea is to get it funded so the mentor and mentee are both compensated for their time. The best way for a plumber/heating engineer to learn how to fit heat pumps, is to do their first one with somebody that's done a lot.  The current apprenticeship setup simply isn't fit for purpose, so will have to evolve and adapt to survive. This will be a mini series to document how this unfolds.    If you'd like to be a mentor or mentee, get in touch with one of us to find out more.
