Anyone replaced their boiler with an air source heat pump? Apparently there are some systems where you can keep your existing radiators so less disruptive to install.

Just started a free "green your home" course with https://selce.org.uk - 1 session in but they're being recorded I think. Might have some info on ASHP. They don't seem to mind if you live southeast or not.
As I understand it though, ASHP gives out low heat so there's no point installing it until your house has very good thermal conservation (insulation and air tightness).

I am in a modern flat, so very well insulated but my hot water is via a ASHP, room heating via convection heaters. The ASHP has been in 8 years and seems to of been problem free but it is pretty big compared to a boiler given that it only does hot water so needs an airing cupboard or loft to have the tank in that it is heating and obviously it isn't very responsive, so like growing up before combi boilers, if you all have showers and use the up the hot water, you are bang out of luck, it does have an immersion element you can flick on for an hour for such situations. I almost never have that issue as it is only two of us but can imagine a family would have issues.
