We have a ground source heat pump. It’s great.

I'm in the market for a new home heating solution. I would say boiler but I really want to find something which basically isn't a regular fossil fuel burner. Current boiler is older than me I reckon.
For what it's worth I use an energy company who claim to provide 100% renewable electricity. So I wonder if I could switch to something electric like an air source heat pump which would take me off the fossil fuel grid. I get that it might cost more both to install and run but I'd like to know if it's even possible and decide if I want to invest/spend my cash in the pursuit of not generating smoke.
My house is old and I am limited in how much I can do to improve the energy efficiency of the building, although I am doing what I can when I have the opportunity. Research points towards a boiler being the right solution but I am willing to be cold(er) to make an alternative work. Even now the house doesn't get that warm tbh.
Does anyone have any experience in this area? Maybe even been down this road?
