Well decided to bite the bullet and go for the 12kw LG, 210 slimline tank plus 9 rads for £13k. Will take some before and after pics once installed and see how things go. Thanks for all the info and guidance ?

Received a comparable cost and salesman was a lot more knowledgable than other company. RHI estimates for both were around the £10500-£11k so negligible. first quote of £15k includes a Ecodan 8.5kw pump and 170 litre tank plus replacement of 13 rads. Estimate of £775 electricity bill second quote of £13800 was for LG R32 Therma-V 12kw Monobloc plus a 250L Horizontal Unvented cylinder plus replacement of 9 rads. Estimate of £840 electricity bill Certainly edging towards the second quote based on spec, price and the actual company Any advice? thanks

Thanks Chris appreciate the feedback

Decided to hold off installation for a few weeks and get a comparable quote. Second company is offering an LG Therma V R32 instead of the Ecodan so will be interesting to see how they compare. Will keep you posted

They did mention the immersion lift. I haven’t had any other Ashp quotes but may do so. The current system I have is on its last legs if it was just the boiler I would consider sticking with oil but the cost to get the system sorted and elements moved will end up being Similar in price.

Honestly I’m not 100% Im waiting on this addition in writing however I believe it is the RHI Metering and monitor package

Thank you for this I did the calculation and comes out at around £4500 based on my EPC from 18 months ago. I will send this on querying their figures

This may give some further details on my energy usage etc

Underfloor heating would be great but not an option. One of our bathrooms has and electric shower and the other I’m currently ripping out and adding another shower as none of us use a bath so wouldn’t have an issue with hot water. No possibility of gas in my area and as mentioned in last post my current oil system needs completely replacing.

Thank you for all your responses I will look into further info from your suggestions and advise where I can. If my Oil heating system was Ok i would leave it for now however my old steel tank needs replacing as it’s rustling plus i would need to install a concrete base as it’s currently sitting on rotten wood timbers!. Boiler is 15+ years and sitting outside in a Small brick built outhouse. The boiler needs replacing and moving due to wanting to extend. Hot water tank also needs moving. Rads needs replacing in most of house plus pipework needs attention. My choices are either £12k+ on replacing and moving oil system or around £3k (after rhi) with an Ashp. Ashp is certainly the best option for me with all the issues i have with my current setup.

1852sq ft, not sure what sort of cavity insulation. Only guide I can give is around £1200+ pa oil bill. The guy came round this evening and answered a lot of concerns I had and by adding metering onto this system got me an extra £1600 so I’m now looking at a total of £12500k rhi. I have confirmed an install date for a few weeks time but am still a little apprehensive although they don’t get paid until I’m 100% happy with the install.

Thanks for reply, detached two storey. Large front and rear gardens with Neighbours either side So gets sun most of the day. Not sure on size but a lot larger than a typical new build 5 bed house (a bit vague I know) House was built mid 70s has cavity insulation and recently had new windows and doors to most of the house (still a few left to replace). Never have heating on over 18 degrees and never switched on during the night FYI thanks

I currently have an outdated oil fired heating system and I need to replace the boiler, oil tank and pipework etc. I have been in touch with a Air source heat pump provider who quotes a flat £14995.00 install for and ecodan 8kw heat pump, 170 litre hot water tank, 10+ rads etc. Having had a survey done I am due to meet with a sales manager to finalise details. In regards to RHI I have been advised I would receive just under £11K from RHI over 7 years. I have a detached 5 bed house and wondered if this is setup would be suitable and if £15K is about right Any advice would be appreciated, thanks
