  4. What Are Heat Pumps? Heat pumps extract heat from outside sources like the surrounding air and circulate it inside your home. In the summertime, it can also remove heat from your house and transfer it outside. The technology is fairly new and getting popular for its efficiency.

But here are some considerations to help you decide: Installation Heat pumps are a little expensive to install, as you'll also require additional investments. Beyond the initial equipment cost, you may need to upgrade your insulation, radiators, and underfloor heating. With gas boilers, you just need to replace your existing system and connect it to natural gas, making it a much more convenient, quick, and cheaper investment.

Gas boilers function excellently in these conditions and provide consistent heating regardless of outside temperature. However, heat pumps can be a little less efficient during windy and cold temperatures. So, gas boiler installations in Essex can seem more efficient.

  9. Servicing Gas boilers are the gold standard for homes in Essex. Local professionals are well- equipped to install and service these with care and precision.

Heat pumps might require more specialised care and attention to detail, and such service providers might not be easily accessible.

  10. To Conclude While the ultimate decision depends on your preferences, here's a quick take on the discussion of gas boilers vs. heat pumps. Heat pumps may be a promising solution for modern-day needs, but gas boilers are currently more cost-effective, reliable, and practical. They've been around for decades and are better suited for the Essex climate. They're also easy to install and maintain.
