Hello Chaps,

I'm after a little advice from the experts in Heat Pump installation.
I'm in the midst of purchasing a 3 bed semi detached Victorian cottage which currently has no heating and not on mains gas. It does have double glazing and loft insulation to 250mm and the external walls will be insulated to 70-100mm using kingspan or celotex.
My first question is this enough insulation for a Air source heat-pump to run effectively? If not what do you recommend?
I would also like to know what is the heat-pump manufacture of choice with engineers for reliability and ease of use?
And what are the common mistakes people make when having one of these installed?
I've been googling around the internet for answers and most of the info I can get is from manufacturers or the sales people.
Or should I just go for LPG gas or oil and not bother with this heat pump idea.
I have tons of questions but not too many answers on recommned installers and reliability etc..
Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Col
