The Talk
Joanna will take part in an initial discussion covering topics such as:
- What are the fossil fuel-free options for home heating?
- Are heat pumps effective in cold weather and how much disruption does it cause to install one?
- Will a heat pump reduce energy bills, or is it just a matter of reducing dependence on fossil fuels?
Then she will take additional questions from the audience. If you would like to ask a question in advance, use this button
