were unsuitable for old buildings,
images SWNS but that did not stop Aquila Diocese of Canterbury Academies Trust, which runs 16
schools in Kent who commissioned the heat pumps, the first one was installed at Kingsnorth Primary School in Ashford, Kent, it was a type of ultra-efficient gas boiler alternative designed to be more
environmentally friendly, it was fitted in the summer 2023, all went well, until it got cold, Kingsnorth was first forced to close early on November 30
last year when gas and electricity stopped working and staff were unable to
provide food for the children, a second failure followed just over a week later on December
6, forcing another all-day closure, with a third, fourth and fifth happening in
quick succession on January 10, 11 and 12 this year,
parents have claimed they were only informed of these decisions with "random messages", one mum said, with another saying they were "getting annoyed" at the short notice, the Aquila Diocese of Canterbury Academies Trust, apologized for the
issues and said it was working to rectify the issue by installing a power
backup, the Diocese commented, “We have planned to install an additional power
source for part of the new heating system so we can remove some of the
electrical load from the school’s electrics and have the system fully
operational as intended,” the spokesperson explained, so here you have it, fit
heat pumps only if you can afford to also
fit a power backup, why do we continue to throw ourselves into mounting debt of net zero just to please the tree hugging,
green loonies, when the rest of the world ignores it? for the full story have a look here.
