Air to water system inn current home.

Howdy all, Our home was built in the 1950's but had an extension built in 2006 with the whole home re plumbed. So is a retrofit possible to our home or would it be cost prohibitive. We have stove with a back boiler and an oil system currently with 13 rads off it.

The biggest question is what is the insulation like in your home. Air to water heat pumps aren't successful in poorly insulated homes. I think you will need a B energy rating for heatpump to work efficiently

Thanks.
I think an inspection would be the place to start and see what would need to be done from that point to bring it up to scratch.
