Heat pumps are becoming a more familiar alternative to gas boilers, but the type most commonly installed in UK homes isn’t the only option.
Homeowners in England and Wales can now get £2,500 towards the cost of an air-to-air heat pump through the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). These systems work differently from the air-to-water heat pumps typically used to replace a boiler, and could be particularly well suited to smaller homes and flats.
