[Sticky] Say hello and introduce yourself
Posted by: @bobtskutterI'm about to start my ASHP journey by using one to heat my garage/workshop space
Beware that each house (defined by a Meter Point Reference Number) is only permitted one application for the £7500 grant, known as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
If that's used for your outbuildings, then it can't be later used for the rest of the house.
Consider also that the house is likely to require a heat-pump system capable of heating Domestic Hot Water (DHW), whereas your garage installation could make do without that.
These are the sort of discussion points which warrant you starting your own topic as @editor suggested.
You will receive responses from others here, offering a number of options to address this issue.
Save energy... recycle electrons!
Mars hello there. I plan to go air to water and then into a home made HVAC air filtration "thing". I'm not really sure how it's all going to go together, but it will be fun to work through it.
Regards
Bob
