While the UK government might have scrapped plans to ban selling new gas boilers by 2035, the number of homeowners swapping their boilers for heat pumps is still on the rise thanks to the energy-bill slashing effect they can have on a home.
That said, for all their benefits, heat pumps might not always be the best solution for every household and, let's not forget that even when taking advantage of the government's boiler upgrade scheme, the cost of a heat pump is still pretty significant. I am currently mulling over the idea of installing one myself as part of the alterations we are planning on making to our home but am hesitant due to the fact that our old Edwardian cottage is pretty energy inefficient.
