Original Note:
Firstly, it is more accurate to say a heat pump captures three times more heat energy than the electrical energy used. Secondly, a modern boiler will have 90% efficiency, so the heat pump would be 3.0 / 0.9 = 3.3 more efficient, not 3.0 as stated. https://www.britishgas.co.uk/heating/guides/boiler-efficiency.html
