Thanks, Jan.

I live in East Anglia, UK.  The heat pump that I'm considering works down to 
-15ºC and I've checked the supplier's figures for my house: we should not go 
into needing backup heating, although we do have a multifuel stove in the 
sittingroom which we have lit most evenings in the winter.

I think that I might go for it.
