HOUSE UPDATE, JANUARY 2025

EV Channels Review

This video provides a candid and detailed update on the ongoing renovations and running costs of 'The Money Pit' house. The hosts discuss significant expenses, including a £177 replacement pane of glass for the conservatory and ongoing high electricity bills, which reached £3.52 in a single day, highlighting the inefficiency of electric radiators. They explore potential solutions like insulation through the Great British Insulation Scheme and discuss the pros and cons of air-to-air heat pumps, ultimately advising against them for heating due to a lack of coziness and rapid temperature drops when turned off, despite their effectiveness for cooling. The review also touches upon issues with a log burner, chimney leaks, and the installation of a positive input ventilation system (ATMOS Air) for improved air quality. Future plans include replacing windows and the front door, with a significant budget allocated for these upgrades. The video concludes with a charity mug prize draw and a strong recommendation for Octopus Energy.
