[QUOTE="fatbob88, post: 236672, member: 12143"] Thanks for the clarification and yes National Grid are replacing the steel service pipes with plastic ones in my street where [B]I live[/B] not in the street where my investment property is located. It's my landlord who are organising the repositioning of the gas meters at my investment property, they identified some required safety work after a fire risk assessment and safety report. No details were provided but I had a light bulb moment today after speaking to Gas Safe and I think the issue has to do with the fact that the block does not have a fire escape so the only route out in the event of fire is down the stairs in the communal areas. If a fire started on the ground floor where the gas meter cupboard is located and pierced the gas main then this would probably prevent anyone from the escaping from the floors above via the stairs. Back to the issue of replacing the heating system in my investment property, it has been suggested to me that I should look into the viability of having a Mitsubishi ecodan air source heat pump installed. Obviously this has pipework which I was hoping to avoid primarily because of the difficulty of routing the pipework in the newish kitchen (see my first post) but this could probably be remedied by locatin the pump on the outside wall in a more convenient position for the pipe run. Anyone have any experience of this form of heating? [/QUOTE]
