The Heat Geek: Happier With A Heat Pump and Why Hydrogen is Dead!

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert Llewellyn is joined by Adam Chapman, the Heat Geek himself, to dive into the future of heating our homes.

Starting as a blog, Heat Geek has grown into a transformative training platform for thousands of heating engineers, teaching the physics of moving heat and how to design and install low carbon heating technologies like heat pumps.

Robert and Adam discuss why hydrogen isn't the future for home heating, the untapped potential of heat pumps, and how most homes don't need major upgrades to make the switch. They explore how local tradespeople are pivotal to drive the clean energy transition, how we can break the psychological barriers to adopting new technologies to enable homeowners to start saving money, improve efficiency and reduce carbon!

With 28 million homes to tackle, Heat Geek is on a mission—and the excitement about efficiency is contagious. Enjoy! @HeatGeek @fullychargedshow @EverythingElectricShow
