United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm still of the stance that heat pumps work well, if the house heating system is designed/adjusted to accomodate.
Modern insulation, large radiators/underfloor heating? Ideal candidate, you'll hit decent efficiency most of the time.
1930s house with little insulation, and un-calculated radiators thrown in and run at 70'C?
You might as well be using bare electric heating at a lower install cost.
So the push for ASHP/GSHPs needs to be a two pronged attack: Get places ready to receive them, then install them.
This is the approach I'm taking , upgrade the basics like insultation first before making the jump.
