Should I or Shouldn't I ASHP?

[Nickfromwales]

Anybody want to have a stab at how long an ASHP will last, vs a good quality gas boiler?

 

This also needs to be factored in.

About the same. ASHP shouldn't last as long as good fridge. But technically a heat pump produced today will be over taken efficiency wise every few years.

 

A poor boiler or heat pump install, is unlikely to last a a good one. So many variables.

If you aren't bothered about claiming the grant then you could install a muktisplit A2A heatpump

 

This would give you cooling in the summer and leave the gas boiler for water and backup heating in winter. (summer water could be immersion heater from PV?) 

 

You haven't mentioned if you have a gas hob - factor that cost in if you want to get rid of gas altogether.

Are heat pump warranties 10 years or more like a boiler? Genuine question I've never looked in to them
