I did look into it when we had someone round talking about the government grant. But the grant is nowhere near enough to cover the overall cost for us.
From what I understand it's suitable for some homes and not for others - I think it's a great idea but might leave it a while until the technology improves and the whole thing doesn't cost as much (our boiler is quite old so we probably should do something about it)
Same with me. Bought home (20 years old, not a new build). Hot water tank needed replacing + energy company we're doing grants. When I enquired, they replied my house was not suitable due to pipes being too small.
I wonder in the number of enquiries in to heat pumps between the two countries is just as wide, or if they're a bit more similar?
