From Andrew Till / Mr. EV
.

Regular viewers will know that we’ve been living with electric radiators in our ‘new’ house. These are very expensive to run. I had two choices: replace them and get a heat pump, or get solar panels and batteries. I chose the latter. Was that right?

I run through the figures from December 2025 and see how much we spent and saved.
