Anyone here had any experience of these? (installation/costs and so on.....)

It seems to be an off-the-cuff £10,000 for a decent one for a place in
the country with plenty of land available around it.

A very long payback time.

very long indeed. Why woul danybody fit one? Even if it saved, say,
£500 a year it would still take 20 years to pay pac

I like the technology and idea of heat pumps and they are cheap enough
to run if you get a high COP unit. The install cost is way too high,
so much so it is better to install a cheap oil or LPG boiler and use
the remainder of the money spent on a heat pump on heavy insulation
and making the place more air tight. That will give a house that is
much cheaper to run than a heat pump and technology that is easily and
cheaply serviced.
