Heat pumps are they a waste of money?

[MashBag]

No

Absolutely. There is no one answer, some will be better than others. Some will fit individual requirements better that other forms of heating.

Ok then, in November we had a full central heating system fitted cost 5500 quid, Worcester Bosch greenstar 4000 boiler and 8 rads, it is very efficient take this week we are just shy of £28-00 for gas and leccy rolls over at midnight highest we have had in the 2 cold weeks over crimbo and January is £39-00 , why would anybody shell out thousands on a heat pump for basically the same return. so no they are not worth the money

Oil!

Or?

Oil, is there anything else if you cannot use gas?

I forgot LPG -

Despite LPG being more costly to run than natural gas, both are markedly cheaper than the running cost of an electric boiler. Oil boilers, however, cost about the same price to run per kWh as natural gas boilers.
