When Bill Tuck first started installing air source heat pumps six years ago, other heating engineers were skeptical about whether the green technology would take off.(六年前比尔·塔克刚开始安装空气源热泵时，其他供暖工程师还怀疑这项绿色技术能否普及。) “Now, the conversation is completely different,” he said.
六年前比尔·塔克刚开始安装空气源热泵时，其他供暖工程师还怀疑这项绿色技术能否真正普及。“现在，大家聊的完全是另一回事了，”他说。
“I’m getting approached by them saying: ‘Mrs Jones, my customer for 15 years, she’s enquiring about a heat pump. What can you tell me?’ The whole narrative has changed(整个说法/风向都变了).”
“他们现在反过来找我，说：‘琼斯太太，我服务了15年的老客户，她正在打听热泵的事。你能跟我说说吗？’整个风向都变了。”
But despite a surge in interest in cheap and sustainable ways to warm homes, the government is understood to be slashing the amount of money available to subsidise heat pumps as it looks for ways to cut spending in Wednesday’s budget.(然而，尽管人们对廉价、可持续的供暖方式兴趣激增，据悉政府仍将大幅削减用于补贴热泵的资金，因为它在为周三的预算案寻找削减开支的办法。)
