I don’t have a good feeling about retrofitted heat pumps at all. The government is pushing too hard.
In the UK we have poor insulation, noise concerns (dwellings very close together), high electricity rates, periods of sub zero temperatures in winter and from what I can gather a lack of skilled fitters in this space.
All together it doesn’t make a convincing argument
Plus all the comments here about broken systems, high electricity costs, inadequate temperatures etc doesn’t fill me with hope
Yes I’ve heard every rebuttal (“but Nordics”, “your fitter was bad”, “you under specced”, “you over specced” etc)
Building code should have solved insulation issues decades ago. Heat Recovery systems etc instead of relying on drilling holes in to window frames as the primary source of ventilation
