Heat pumps offer much more efficiency than a boiler, relying only on electricity to provide 3 to 4 times the amount of heat you can get from a boiler, which runs on fossil fuels. You can save money over time as it costs less to maintain and operate a heat pump, though you will pay a higher price upfront to install it compared to a boiler.

Unless they are connected to the same system, boilers and water heaters will both need their own expansion tanks. The only case they wouldn’t have separate expansion tanks is if the boiler is pulling double duty and managing a heating system while also supplying hot water for a home. In which case, you may not need a hot water heater.

If you have a closed-system boiler that needs an expansion tank to work, you cannot run your boiler without it (not without the risk of extensive damage and even explosions). Your options include moving the boiler to another spot, rerouting boiler piping to a more open area, or completing a remodel around the boiler to create more space for the tank.
