Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
docus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoFully agree, and everyone who can afford a heatpump should get one to reduce their carbon footprint. But unlike solar, the return on investment doesn’t look good.

They make economic sense if you have to upgrade to a new gas boiler (from an old gas boiler) or even worse, a oil-based boiler, but only under BUS conditions.
In other countries, though, where they are widespread, they are cheaper to both install and run than gas boilers.
