Just a short update. No problems to date with our system, and running costs still match what we would have had with a gas boiler. For those interested in installing one here is ann article from the Guardian that answer a lot of questions I get asked.
Are heat pumps the future or just a lot of hot air?

On the question about will it keep my house warm, the answer is yes if it is specified properly. It won’t be significantly different to run compared with a gas boiler on standard energy rates, if it is installed properly. In time we will all need to get rid of gas boilers, so make your choice when you need a change of boiler and make sure you find a reputable installer that guarantees it will work.
