Hi Ann,
after applying last week and initially looking at Solar we have changed our mind because of all the messing about with the roof. It steers us away from our fabric first approach. After consulting about our retrofit @Lewis_Sharman we’re now looking at a heat pump .
Our EPC rates our home at E . The only improvements we made so far have been to the loft - insulated.
We are pretty much at the start of our retrofit journey. Through Covid and redundancy we’d just started claiming universal credit - we feel hopeful that we might be eligible for this grant to get a heat pump.
The surveyor is coming out on Thursday (3rd June) - we’re in Northenden.
We had a look at some of the criteria for the RHI renewable heat incentive scheme - if we are to benefit from this we will have to have an air to water heat pump and the pump has to be on the MCS list.
Our home energy planner survey with PPR has come into it’s own here - showing a heat loss of 9kw , which will reduce after our fabric first fixes are completed to save us nearly 2kws of heat and means a pump of about 9kws is about the size we are looking at.
It’s good having some understanding of this - would have been clueless about it all, were it not for the educational opportunities Carbon Coop provides for us - @polly @andyham 
I’ll keep updating how we get on!!
Hope they get to you soon Ann x
