You may have noticed that the last post in my home decarbonisation series was an update on energy costs after living with a heat pump for 11 months. I don’t have the figures for a full year because, the day after I posted, I moved house.
I’m now back in Edinburgh after 17 and half years (via Tokyo, Breda, The Hague, London and Dundee), not far from where I used to live.
It also means I’m back to living in a mid-floor flat, with a gas central heating. So having completed the decarbonisation journey, I’m back to square one.
Except, this one is harder to decarbonise, with no roof to put solar panels on or outside space – not even a balcony – to put a heat pump. It’s like a game where you complete a stage and are moved to the next, more challenging, stage.
