Theo, have you found an up to date comparison between storage heaters
and ASHP?

Why would anyone install storage heaters - the worst of all worlds?

Indeed. Low capital cost is all they offer. ASHP is half the running
cost or less, but you really need UFH to use the low temperatures. And
mega insulation to allow for low heat output.

A traditional heat pump AC system would have lower capital costs and do
away with the UFH requirement.

I can see the attraction for small scale use when resistive electric is
the only other viable option.
