GSHP - Will prices come down?
With an ASHP, that's a more easier question to answer ie: as time goes on, the cheaper they get With a GSHP, presumably the additional costs from it isn't just the heat pump but rather the planning, drilling, and any thing that you need to put in for the piping which may end up costing more if it's copper too. I imagine…

Heatpump - Replacement cost?

ASHP is my quote reasonable?
I’ve been looking into getting a ASHP as my boiler needs replacing anyway. I like a few things about the ASHP the hot water tank being in my old boiler cupboard and the unit outside is ideal - I don’t have room to have a boiler and a tank indoors as all space is taken.
