Heat pumps

Will a heat pump work in my old British home?

Often, yes. But the order matters. Solid-wall pre-1919 homes typically need fabric work first; 1930s cavity homes usually want cavity fill and a loft top-up before sizing the heat pump; better-fabric post-1960 stock can often go ahead with the heat pump first. 'Old' alone doesn't disqualify; uninsulated does.
