Are heat pumps cost-effective for home heating

The article discusses the high costs and considerations involved in replacing fossil fuel heating systems with air source heat pumps. It highlights that installation expenses are significantly higher, with typical costs around $50,000, compared to $12,000–$15,000 for boiler replacement. While incentives are limited, switching to heat pumps can be environmentally beneficial, especially when combined with solar energy. Potential upgrades, such as electrical service, removal of old radiators, and heating small areas like bathrooms, should be considered before installation.
