I own a ground floor flat in a converted Victorian building. No gas supply, so the heating is all electric, and cripplingly expensive.
I've been looking around a lot at heat pumps, and I think the best thing would be an A2A system (current heating is not water based), but the hoops that need jumping through to get this done seem a bit overwhelming.
Has anyone actually successfully done this? What were the main issues and takeaways?
The positives - it's a ground floor flat at a gable end (one neighbour above and one to the side). The directors probably won't object if I can prove it's all above board and won't cause noise or liability problems. The flat is small (40 square meters), and even without improved insulation I'm sure it's feasible (and would be significantly cheaper) to have some form of heat pump)
The negatives - most companies seem interested in flats (heat geek flat out refuse). It's in a conservation area. The management company are a bit of a nightmare.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Should I just resign myself to storage heaters? Or is this actually possible (even if difficult)?
Any advice welcome.
