We have a large 1910s house in Wellington and two years ago installed roof top solar panels linked to the grid and with battery. We’d previously installed double glazing to try to minimise energy loss. We create more electricity than we consume most of the year and export the rest to the grid. We are planning to get EV in the future and will be great to be able to power via our solar system. Next on the list for this year is replacing gas stove with induction cooker. We’d love to also switch out our gas hot water and central heating and have had various companies come and quote. The main barriers are practicalities - eg we have  high ceilings and would need multiple/ large heat pumps to heat the space well,but there are no practical external walls to locate them. However, finding suppliers who are informed and on board with decarbonising and able to offer solutions is also a challenge - eg a number of hot water companies seem to steer you back to gas and can’t seem to understand why anyone would want to switch.
