Has anyone got any experience of air source pumps connected to existing radiators? Our 22 year old oil boiler is getting a bit unreliable. We are seriously considering replacing it with an air source pump, and have asked a company to do a survey.
They sent us to see a family who had one installed last year, although they are similar to us in some ways, (house about the same age, microbore pipes, megaflow water system) they had their air source installed just after they moved in, so they cannot compare costs. So if you have a retrofitted ASP could you give us an idea of any cost savings? We have been quoted about 50% of current heating costs that is 100% saving on oil but increased electricity.
Our other concern is the noise as our pump would be about 6 feet from the neighbours' outside covered seating area , separated by 6 foot fence admittedly. The one we saw yesterday seemed quiet but they live next to a field, so neighbours were not an issue!
