When I asked the question of friends with new builds with air source heat pumps they said don't bother as the system is expensive to run and runs at a far lower temperature (35-45C) than an ICE boiler (75C). Further facts and comparison.

Like Jon I don't want an ugly noisy box in our garden either.

This advice also came when I asked my Central Heating Engineer, so we shall go for a replacement for our Grant Oil boiler at as close to the cut off point as possible. He said they have completed a lot of heat pump retrofits but will decline others as the customers are unhappy with the comparison with ICE.

I don't feel the cold but my good lady does so I'll stick with it no matter what they decide to charge for oil, her happy at 21C is us all happy.
