Yes, that's great! I just wish it was paired with the more ambitious stick of banning new gas hookups.

Right now seems to be a perfect time to announce such large subsidies on heat pump installations. For two reasons:

1. A lot of people in the UK have actually had their savings grow because of covid. Not being able to spend on holidays and going out etc (I realise some have not fared so well).

2. The current crisis in gas.

I think they're going to be swamped with people who want to take advantage of this. I don't think they're going to be able to keep up with the demand. I'm personally going to be on top of it as soon as it becomes available.
