The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the estimated total cost to households is of replacing gas boilers with heat pumps.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

The cost to a household of replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump will depend on take-up of the available Government support, the size of the heat pump unit required and any ancillary works such as replacing radiators.

Other support schemes are available for low-income households and social housing, and for eligible homes a heat pump installation may be supported at no cost to the household.
