I looked at this a while back, nearly all installed are air-air. Commonly known over here as air conditioningAir source ones?

COP?Can a gas boiler? Yes, if the gas is up to spec and there's enough of it.
Same with a heat pump, the colder the day, the lower the COP, and that's where design and understanding come into it
Stats for Norway, they are nearly all air con units, not the air to water the Goverment want everyone to have.They work perfectly well when correctly specified & installed. A kw of heat is a kw of heat no matter how it's generated. 10kW from a heat pump is exactly the same as 10kW from a gas boiler. Places like Scandinavia, Canada, and the USA get much colder than here and have been using heat pumps for 30-40 years.
It's plumbers that fit them? Obviously quiet a lot of electrical work tooThey work great. When our trades get ahold of them... not so much.
You think they will take over from gas boilers? I know some older plumbers that made a lot of money converting all vented systems to seal combi system. I'm guessing in late 90s early 00s. I'm wondering if this is the younger generations chance for lots of good money work.Everywhere else on the planet it's not new technology and you can pick one up at the super market.
It's only us lot with our bizzare 80C flow temperatures and wet systems that still can't wrap our heads around why having the heating on for 2 hours a day isn't very good.
Can't wait for them to release UK models that ship with a buffer tank that hampers performance just because we know best!!

But the source isn't gas, it's electric!more useful energy for space heating than the source gas itself contains.

COP?
This isn't true; my ASHP has no problems heating my house for the two months of the year I need it to. However, the house was designed and built with the foresight that it would have an ASHP heat sourceis they cant supply enough heat in the winter & you need a top up heat supply
