    Yeah I had a heat pump engineer come and do a survey and heat loss calculation, and the conclusion is that I would require 2 pumps to produce enough heat. I’d be looking at around 20 grand upfront for that, after the government grant being applied.

    For that money I could probably replace all windows with triple glaze and add insulation, and come out a lot more efficient than replacing the gas boiler.

    In fairness, that would also likely get the house ready for a single pump, and when electricity prices cease to be kept artificially high it will probably be economical to make the switch.
