Air source, they seem to be fixated with these useless contraptions which are only good if the house is built as a passive house to accommodate them. My oil boiler is very efficient and heats water to very hot to run normal radiators and the megaflow hot water system, no way am I spending money to replace something that works with something that probably doesn't at huge expense and disruption Still, they gave me £5 for filling in the survey

My answer was definitely staying with the oil boiler Most of the scenarios actually stated the heat pump solution would be more expensive than my existing oil boiler even though they didn't take into account upgrading piping, radiators, insulation and the loss of outdoor space to house the heat pump Would you choose a heat pump over a conventional boiler system for a big and draughty detached house which is already energy cost neutral due to solar panels and FITS?

Did you mention the advantages of having a tank 2000 litres of red Diesel handy?
