    There’s a few issues with what you’re saying

    • you don’t need emersion heating for space heating, but you will likely need a hot water tank for water heating for showers, etc
    • “not enough heat in the air” is nonsense, heatpumps are standard issue kit in Scandinavia
    • we barely burn any oil in the UK. Total installed capacity is ~370MW and is basically never used - see https://electricityproduction.uk/plant/oil/ ** The coal plants are nearly gone too, we do burn an absolute shit load of gas however, and that definitely needs reducing.

    Heatpumps are not a one size fits all solution, and they are very expensive, that much is true.
