That doesn't mean that it is the best heating system for an existing
house nor does it mean that is the cheapest to run.

As most of the sites suggest it's ideal for underfloor heating when the
house is much better insulated than the vast majorities of properties.
But, with a better than average insulated property other forms of of
heating may/will be cheaper (ignoring subsidies) than air sourced heat
pumps.

The policy aim is for a reduction in CO2 not necessarily a reduction in
the cost of heating your home.

Theo, have you found an up to date comparison between storage heaters and ASHP?
The cost of installing and running and maintenance would need to be in it.
I have a good friend who was looking at buying a 10K ASHP, which has a life expectancy of 10 years. This was his words. Newish build, underfloor heating. (First ASHP was off ebay)
