OCTOPUS is seeing record heat pump sales as increasing numbers of people switch from boilers, the energy company said.

The energy firm said it had recorded its best-ever month for heat pump sales in July, which was the sixth consecutive month of growth and saw purchases up 71% on the same month last year.
