The Government wants us to get heat pumps fitted in our homes and it&#39;s offering up to £7,500 for us to do so.

Now Worcester Bosch is bumping that up by an extra £2,500 - if you pick one of theirs of course.

But with the devices cost between £8,000 to £30,000 to buy and fit, would it tempt you? Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Lee Boyce reveal all... and talk the &#39;boiler tax&#39;.
