I actually prefer the heat pump over radiant heat. My heat pump is placed low on the wall, about a meter or a bit less above the floor, in one side of the living room. Due to the air it's pumping out I get an even nice temperature everywhere, while if I use the wood stove with the heat pump switched off it gets very hot near the stove while it's cold in the other section (around the corner) of the living room, not to mention the kitchen. In practice I end up pouring in wood fuel and let the thing burn to maybe 10kW just to get the warm air seeping into the kitchen, eventually, and then it's too hot elsewhere. I realize I could set up fans etc, but really - it's so much nicer to use the heat pump and get a uniform heat distribution.
