We have so much of that stupid heat pump discussion fueled by conservative assholes right now here telling people it will cost 100'000€ to install.
Yes, it's not that easy if you live in a house with 1900s windows and isolation. But then you also want to heat more than your kitchen, have electric lights and don't shovel coal?
But if you do the bare minimum of sensible insulation (underfloor, roof, decent windows) and add radiators it does, as I understand as a layman, work.
There are also heat pumps that do 70 degree Celsius of flow temperature.
If you want to test if changing gas boiler for heat pump will work, just regulate your flow temperature to 50 and see what happens.
And oh, a box on the roof is ugly as argument against carbon neutral heating is ridiculous.
