it sounds as though you are only half way to a good heating system.... try to replace the gas boiler with a wood stove and back boiler feeding a heat store, otherwise you will be paying four times as much for heating. Get a wood stove ready heat store which can also accomodate a heat pump then you will be virtually gas free and future proofed.

SagraiasolarHave you heard about the new air/water heat pump for domestic hot water only, from Ariston? Launched at the Solarexpo in Verona this May. Uses only 310W in normal mode, on the 100 ltr tank model, with electric backup if needed. Cost I have been informed is under 1000 Euro + IVA. Cannot put a link to the documentation as only have the details in PDF.
