Reviews for Warm Wisdom: A stress-free guide to finding and fitting the right heat pump for your home

‘There were so many things to consider when we were thinking about changing over from a gas boiler to a heat pump. We knew the most important thing was to have it installed properly. I desperately wished for a resource like this book to help us cut through the technical jargon and clarify the project’s objectives. I would have particularly valued the section on the types of heat pump installers and how to choose between them. We lucked out and found an excellent local company that actually worked with us instead of just selling us a standard deal, but that was down to pure chance, not thoughtful planning!’ — Christine Rigden, Bedworth Church Eco-champion ‘Warm Wisdom is a great starting point for any homeowner like me who is interested in getting a heat pump. Louise’s book is full of practical advice, tips and things to watch out for from someone in the know. Reading this is like having your own friendly insider coach to talk you through everything you need to know in nontechnical language. I found the worked example of how to find a local installer particularly useful.’ — Dr Amanda Salter, Co-Founder, Astra
