Hi Jamie, you hit the nail on the head when you talk about stupidity, I'm horrified when I hear about people falling for phone scammers with a strong Indian accent telling them they're from Amazon or the Bank etc. just like some trades people falling for all this crap, I think the standard of education in this country is now lower than ever, it is the only reason that they fall for this crap.. Regards from the old sod.
@@bikerchrisukk Hi Chris, I have been involved with computers since 1978 when I built my first computer if I remember it had less than 1k of memory BTW I'm 81 now and still helping people of all ages with their gear, it is not a matter of age or intelligence, but how gullible people are. Regards from Ray in North Wales
Been installing heat pumps for years and solar. Dual trade, full apprenticeship route for both. Supporting the mass takeover of octopus is devaluing the market for both trades. Its a wolf in sheep's clothing, trojan horse whatever you will. Now I just stick to servicing as I sit back and watch the race to the bottom unfold. Sad really.
Unfortunately Octopus are handpicking the easy heat pump jobs that suit their algorithm, these customers are simply not getting heat pumps at all after being told that a heat pump isn’t suitable for their home by octopus- which is incorrect in alot of cases. We will be quoting any leads directly without octopus giving any estimates - i do think we won’t convert many of the leads at all due to Octopus’s saying they can fit a heat pump for £500 after the grant which is ridiculous if you are trying to install them to a high standard achieving high efficiency’s. If we are going to decarbonise most of the heating in UK homes everyone has to work together which is the main reason for this “partnership”. With regards to the kickback off leads i find the majority of people we go to are already on an octopus tariff already 😂 I would be interested to know more about what octopus have done to electricians in regards to EV chargers etc?
Say it as it is. I'm surprised Heat Geek sold out so quick but was also curious as to how he crawled out of the pit so easy as well. Money always goes to money. Screw the folk who really do the work. Really quite disappointed by this unholy alliance of greed and self interest.
Mr octopus why can I not get a good tariff you have none for me. I cannot have a smart meter asci live rural but company's and yours will not give me a good tariff. Heat geek and Mr octopus and many others make huge amounts of money. Who is interested in giving cheap electric. Heat pumps cost huge amounts of money to run. Heat geek will blind you with its the installers have not calculated a Heat pump correctly . They use electricity big time.
