When to install air source heat pump when renovating?
Ello. Sorry if this has been asked before feel free to post links to relevant forums if so.
Me and my partner have recently moved into our new place. A small Victorian mid terrace doer upper (two up two down). There’s lots of work to do and we’re starting with downstairs which includes kitchen. We’d like to replace the very old boiler with an air source heat pump (if possible). All the companies were speaking to say we need to do the work first before we get assessed for our energy efficiency because one window will be replaced and we’ll insert a new back door. All of this I understand.
What I’m struggling with is why we can’t arrange everything with the proposed plans so that we can install the ASHP during the renovation.
We’ll need to tile and decorate and possibly knock brick out where the old boiler was. We’re planning on having the tank in a new location. So how do we go about getting the ASHP as part of the renovation process???
I have loads of other questions about the whole general process but we’ll start there as I’m baffled and it’s hindering us making progress on plans which we really need to start .
Thank you very much in advance

We’re planning under floor heating through out the small ground floor
