Heat pump vs gas boiler | Which is better for your home in 2026?
If your boiler’s sounding more wheezy than warm and you’re dreading the thought of another big repair bill, a heat pump could be the smarter move. With government grants, lower emissions, guaranteed bill savings, and a cosier home, it’s a win-win!

Spoiler: only one of them kept running at peak efficiency. Watch as we put our heat pump winter performance to the ultimate freeze-test!
