Discuss ASHP or Oil boiler in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Designed properly ASHP's work really well in well insulated buildings and with the Governments support, the extra capital install cost is easily recovered.
Sparkgap's post is precisely why you should use an experienced, qualified professional to design and install - same as you would for an oil or gas boiler. What he points out we could have told him before he even started, classic carp designers..
Heatpumps work best with lower flow temperatures. As an example we have just completed an install in a refurbished 250m2 property - original heat load 38kW, new heat load, after refurb 9.8 kW, downstairs ufh, 1st and 2nd floor radiators 4.3 x bigger than oil however due to the much lower heat load, they still aren't large. (designed flow temp 40°).
A heat pump will be cheaper than mains gas, lpg or leccy to run, however with oil at a it's lowest price for 8 years, oil is currently the cheapest form of heating you can install.
