I think our Lord should get rid of that dirty old boiler, replace it with an Air Source Heat Pump and save the planet! 

Not while I still have breath in my body.....

They don't seem to work very well from what I hear.

Until Mrs Opti decides that you need to save the planet a bit more.   

Then you'll be here telling us how fantastic it is, we really don't need to heat our houses to 20 degrees and you didn't realise that 14 degrees can be quite comfortable when you're wearing half a dozen jumpers! 

If it's not igniting at all it's not the photocell. More likely the ht transformer, fuel solenoid or pump.

Thankyou. 

Chop their effing hands off. 

You are becoming more of a Liberal Democrat with each passing day....

I think you may be right Opti.

One of my friends very recently moved into a brand new house which has been fitted with one of these new fangled heat pumps.  Over the last week it has become very cold down here, but she tells me the heating will only get to a certain level and no more, with her bedrooms remaining quite cold!   Another friend of mine is a master builder, and is very well qualified in the plumbing, and electrical, fields.  He says that the heat pumps have a limit on how much heat they actually push out, which is no where near as high as it is with an gas central heating system.

What the hell is going on I think?!!  Why are heat pumps being so enthusiastically promoted if they have limits for houses in our climate?!

Yep...that sounds about right, Lizzie.

I hear they work 'reasonably well' for a few people but poorly for many others.

I'll avoid if at all possible.

With his vast tract of land in rural Lincolnshire, i would think that a ground source heat pump would be more fitting.

I'd be saving the world twice. Once with a heat pump and again with a milk float.

Even I have my limits.
