Probably not suitable for every system/install, UK heating systems are almost exclusively hydronic or electric storage heaters.
I,ve not seen or heard of any hot air systems being installed in my lifetime(must have been some but certainly not the norm), the only houses I,ve ever seen with hot air system were hated by their owners for the sudden cold feeling as the blower stopped and for their inneficiency.
