Hello experts,
one of many questions: What is more economical, an air source heat pump or a gas boiler? It’s just one of many points we hardly understand.
We were considering a photovoltaic system with an air source heat pump, but it seems clear that usually, the sun shines the least when you need heating the most.
Is the good old gas boiler actually more economical after all?
Thanks!

I don’t understand all these calculations! With an air-to-water heat pump, I don’t need a chimney flue (around 3000€) or a chimney sweep, and you also save quite a bit on heating costs annually with special heat pump electricity rates. So, after 7-10 years, you easily make up the difference and end up ahead compared to a gas boiler, not even counting the potential increase in gas prices!?
