Siting an ASHP when no wall space available?

[Steve1309]

We have a 3 bed end of terrace with no gas supply. The land next to the end wall is not ours. The front of the property opens straight onto a public path with about a metre gap. The back of the house has patio doors and a conservatory with no spare wall space. Short of knocking down the conservatory, does this rule out an ASHP?

 

We're keen to ditch our old eco 7 storage radiators.

 

TIA

What outdoor space do you have, garden etc?

 

Flat roof?

Is there no rear space beyond the conservatory?

 

Do you have a flat roof, eg on a porch, that might host the external unit?

There are variants without external units, eg:

Yes, there's a garden and the roof is a standard gable, thanks

Yes, there's a patio and lawn and yes, there's a porch at the front (didn't think of that), Thanks

You can stick it anywhere in the garden that won't be causing an inconvenience. Just need to size pipes and pumps appropriately.

Ok, thanks
