Helping homes to cut their carbon emissions is no easy task. The government aims to have 600,000 heat pumps a year installed by 2028 to replace gas boilers, but so far only a third of the £5,000 grants meant to help households pay for a new heat pump have been taken up.

We’d like to hear from people who took the plunge and warmed their homes with a heat pump for the first time over the last winter. Were you glad that you made the switch from a gas boiler? Or did the experience leave you cold?

Whether you love your heat pump, or regret it entirely, we’d like to hear about your experience below.
