Air Quote by George Clarke
“If you've had a standard gas boiler in your house for 12-15 years, it's probably very inefficient and needs to be taken out and upgraded. But I would suggest, if anyone can afford it, do not replace your gas boiler with another gas boiler, and if you can, put in an air source heat pump.”
