Consider the hypothetical scenario.
The house is old (Pre-war/1950's/whatever) and constitutes a "Fixer-Upper" in need of full renovation.
There is currently no central heating (Previous owners used either open fires, Gas fires, or electric heaters)
Would you install conventional gas fired wet central heating?
Or would you go down a different route
eg, Some sort of air sourced heat pump system, retaining the solid fuel but with more efficient modern stoves, Night storage heaters, Something else
And/or any combination of the above.
