Helium heat pumps

I would bet this does not hit the market before the current period of the gas boiler upgrade scheme, that is running until May 2027 offering £7.5k (if you decommission a gas boiler). There´s no guarantee that this will be extended with the same terms.
In terms of running costs vs current, you may want to assume a well tuned ASHP will have an efficiency of 3.5-4.x. Assuming you can access decent electricity tariffs, you reduce your bills and also stop indirectly propping up dictators straight away. 😀
