Could you outline what your understanding of "the immersions" consist of please ?
Conventionally they are a resistive element immersed within a storage tank of water, which uses electricity as the energy source, to heat the water.
House is not that big! Unfortunately.You have a 3 phase supply?
Store. Indicates an external heating source. My two will have the elements inside. If I have the biomass boiler it will be a store, with electrical back up from the elementsThat's the thermal store, not "the immersions"
Why, too new?You'll be waiting a very very very long time to hear from someone who has whole house infra red heating installed.
The ASHP will still need an electric element to heat for DHW, the store will still be immersion. And because we don't really want underfloor heating, the wet rads would also need an electric boost. But even UFH is not a no, yet.lol
good luck with your project.

CU is a MK Sentry 21 way, or similar.
Not that long, see post 7 - okay okay, it's a flat ;-)You'll be waiting a very very very long time to hear from someone who has whole house infra red heating installed.
100 amp, single phaseOP, if you are thinking of an all electric property, 11kW of storage heaters, 4 x immersion heaters (your suggestion), electric shower, electric oven and the other sockets & lighting etc, you are going to be very close to the typical 100amp domestic supply, what supply do you have?
Then if you are going 'all electric' that's another consideration100 amp, single phase
OK, the librarian level of technical term isn't correct. An immersion heater, to me, is a big cylinder, with both the electrical element in it, and a coil fed from a heating source for heat exchange purposes.wet rads, fed from a TS, which is heated via an ASHP will not normally need "an electric boost" provided you have sized the rads correctly, and assuming the house will be insulated far in excess of the currently BR requirements.
"the store will be an immersion" - this just tells me you don't know what a thermal store (in relation to this topic ) is.
