What suits you better: a hybrid or a fully electric heat pump?

A hybrid heat pump works together with your current boiler. This type of heat pump takes heat from the outdoor air and uses this to heat your house. When the heat pump doesn't provide enough heat, your boiler helps. For example, when you use a lot of warm water or when it's cold outside. You can save a lot on your gas bill this way, because you only use gas when it's necessary.

A fully electric heat pump only heats your house with electricity. You don't need a boiler. The biggest advantage is that you don't need gas anymore. You're not dependent on gas rates. Because you don't have a boiler anymore, you only have to pay for maintenance costs for your heat pump. This way, you save costs.
