[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 190106, member: 7"] old wrinkly, what type of Air Source Heat Pumps have your friends installed ? most of the ones I have seen are simply modified air con units, about as much use as **** on a boar , you really need a dedicated designed ASHP, I done one in London not so long ago and even in the very cold weather we had it was still heating the bungalow, yes, you need to oversize the radiators, but you are getting your heating/hot water almost for free on a properly designed and installed system. although, you may well be correct in your assumption of your age not being beneficial to your outlay vs running costs and payback time. cheap alternative is as has been said, TRVs all round, room stat (possibly a programmable one), and a good foam covered hot water cylinder.
