Good to see a brand that actually skips the gas boilers entirely. Most of the big names just slap a heat pump on their catalog while still selling old tech. The real question is how the local install quality holds up in the Wirral area.

The focus on transparency and supply chains is the part that actually matters for policy. If we want a real transition, we need procurement standards that reward pure-play renewable firms rather than companies hedging their bets with fossil fuels.

Ethical labels are fine, but I want to see the actual efficiency ratings and how these units handle the peak winter loads without spiking the local distribution network. Does the company provide data on real world performance in older UK housing stock?
