      And so installers were harder to come by, which means fewer people were told about it. Pretty easy to understand why it took a while to catch on.

        Mine is air to water, so all you really need is someone who can plonk it there and then plumbers to do their stuff.

        Vast majority of the work for mine was replacing the entire central heating system, but that would have been a good idea even if I wanted a gas boiler because of how old and shit it was.

        Now my cat can sleep on top of the large double radiators around the house. Tbh that has to be one of the best features of it, flow temperatures low enough that a cat can comfortably sleep on it.

          Ohhh I heard some of those! Got told that the heat pump alone would cost more than twice as much as I actually paid for a heat pump, all new radiators and replacing all the old pipework.
