My plumber was sceptical that it could and felt that the oil boiler (which runs at 80C) would need to kick in a lot to compensate for the lower output of the ASHP. His personal opinion was that he would fit an ASHP in a new build with under floor heating but not in an existing property where the savings would be much reduced compared to what has been suggested.</p></blockquote><p></p>
