[QUOTE="Lakesdigger, post: 7856653, member: 150248"] The problem that everyone is going to find out at some point is that until very recently uk homes were not built to suit heat pumps. Just concentrating on heating (not hot water) you've lost a radiator system using circa 80 deg water temp via radiators to heat your home. Replacing this with a heat pump which is efficient and effective upto 40 deg in effect halfs your heating capability at best. Fancy radiators/ doubling the size cannot replace the massive temperature differential. Heat pumps to stand a change of being economical HAVE to be run with underfloor heating and high levels of insulation. [/QUOTE]
