The eight things that move your price
Size and heat loss
Bigger or draughtier homes need a larger heat pump. Insulation and glazing make a real difference.
Your radiators
Some rooms may need bigger radiators to run at a low, efficient temperature. Upgrades are priced into your quote.
Hot water cylinder
Reusing a modern cylinder costs less. A combi home needs a new one, sized to your household.
What you heat with now
Replacing oil or LPG unlocks a £9,000 grant. Old tanks may need removing.
Design temperature
Lower flow temperatures mean more radiators upfront but lower bills for years.
How you use heat
How many people live with you, and how much heating and hot water you use.
Electrics
An older fuse box may need an upgrade. We check with your network operator if your supply needs work.
Where it goes
Longer pipe and cable runs, say to the bottom of the garden, add cost. Microbore pipes may need replacing.

Up to £9,000 off.
Up to £9,000 off.
We claim it for you.
The government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme takes £7,500 off an air source heat pump in England and Wales. If you're off the gas grid and replacing oil or LPG, it's £9,000 until 31 March 2027. It isn't means-tested, and we take it off your price upfront.

There's still help.
Grants depend on where you live and your circumstances. Here's every route we know about, and how we can help with each.
Scotland
Home Energy Scotland: up to £15,000
A grant of up to £7,500, plus £1,500 more for qualifying rural homes, and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You apply directly, before your install, and we provide the quote to support your application. Our partner covers G, EH, KY, TD, ML, AB43, AB54, AB56 and DD8 postcodes.
Wales
Full Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Welsh homes get the same £7,500, or £9,000 off-gas. Lower-income households can also check the Welsh Government's Nest Warm Homes programme.
Northern Ireland
Not covered yet
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme doesn't apply, the NI Boiler Replacement Scheme has closed, and we don't currently install there. See nidirect for local energy-saving grants.
England · lower income
Warm Homes: Local Grant
Council-run upgrades, which can include a heat pump. For privately owned or rented homes with an EPC of D to G, where household income is £36,000 or less, you get means-tested benefits, or you live in a qualifying area. On or off the gas grid.
On benefits
ECO4
The Energy Company Obligation funds energy-saving measures for households on certain benefits. If you've had ECO or insulation funding, you can still use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for your heat pump.
Coming soon
The Warm Homes Plan
Close to £15 billion to upgrade up to five million homes by 2030: full grants for low-income households, low and zero-interest loans for other homeowners, and rented homes to reach EPC C by 2030. Dates are still to be confirmed.
Landlords
Private landlords can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme on rental homes. Through Warm Homes: Local Grant, the first property can be fully funded, with 50% funding for further properties. Social housing is funded through councils and housing associations, not directly.
Already on the Renewable Heat Incentive?
Your payments continue for the rest of your agreement with Ofgem, but you may not be able to get new funding for the same property. Keep up your meter readings and annual declarations.

Running costs
Honest savings.
Honest savings.
By what you have now.
A heat pump uses about a third of the energy, but electricity costs more per unit than gas. So your saving depends on what you're replacing and your tariff. Pick your current heating to see a typical 3-bed semi.
What heats your home now?
- Rule of thumbA typical home needs 8,000–12,000 kWh of heat a year. At 300% efficiency, that's only 2,500–4,000 kWh of electricity.
- Against a brand-new A-rated gas boilerBills are about the same. You gain lower carbon and a system that lasts 20+ years.
- Save moreAdd solar panels and a battery, top up your insulation, and keep the heating steady rather than on and off.

Servicing

Cost questions
Money questions,
Money questions,
straight answers.
01Are there any hidden costs?
No. Your fixed quote lists everything. Some homes need radiator upgrades, a new cylinder or insulation, and we explain these before you commit. The only extras are site-specific items like groundworks or scaffolding, listed above.
02Is a heat pump cheaper to run than a gas boiler?
Against an old boiler, usually yes, and more so on the Heat Pump Tracker tariff. Against a brand-new A-rated gas boiler, running costs are about the same. Against oil, LPG or storage heaters, savings are bigger.
03How much electricity will it use?
A typical home needs 8,000–12,000 kWh of heat a year. At 300% efficiency, that's about 2,500–4,000 kWh of electricity. Your instant price gives an estimate for your home.
04Why is my price different from my neighbour's?
Heat loss, radiators, cylinder, hot water use and design choice all vary home to home. Try the explorer above to see how each changes the price.
05Can I get the grant and finance together?
Yes. The grant comes off first, and you can finance the balance. The representative example above shows exactly that.
06What does servicing cost?
It depends on your system. Our current offer includes 7 years of free servicing on Ideal and Daikin heat pumps with a new cylinder. An annual service keeps your warranty valid.
07How long is my quote valid?
30 days. Once you order, your price holds for 20 weeks to installation.
08Is a heat pump worth it?
For oil, LPG and electric homes, the case is strong right now, especially with the £9,000 grant. For gas homes, think of it like this: if your boiler is due for replacement anyway, the extra cost of a heat pump after the grant is smaller than most people expect, and it lasts longer and cuts your heating carbon by up to 70%. Your instant price shows the payback against a new boiler.
