Heat pumps extract renewable heat from the air or ground to provide heating and hot water. Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are the most common type for UK homes. They work efficiently even at temperatures as low as -15C. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers grants of up to 7,500 towards installation costs. Heat pumps can reduce carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to gas boilers.
