\nReaders respond to a letter by Dr Kirstine Oswald and urge people not to be deterred by paperwork and potential stressLike Dr Kirstine Oswald (Letters, 14 April), I had a heat pump installed last year. I needed a new boiler and wanted to be as environmentally friendly as I could. I have had solar panels for some years, so I had a battery installed along with the heat pump. I agree it is a very expensive process, and I am unlikely to reap long-term benefits, as I\u2019m already 81. However, I do not recognise the complicated procedure she speaks about. The company that installed my pump dealt with the application for me. There was some online form-filling, to prove I was entitled to the grant, but it didn\u2019t take long.I spoke to the company at the end of May and it was installed in the middle of July. I live in a four-bedroom Edwardian house, which has been warm all winter. I used to pay \u00a33,000 per year for my gas and electricity. For the first three months of this year my electricity cost has been under \u00a3400, which includes charging my electric car. At the moment heat pump installation isn\u2019t for everyone, but I wouldn\u2019t want anyone considering having one installed to be put off because of the paperwork.Karin SumptionTeddington, London Continue reading…
