About David →Quick Answers for UK Homeowners
Start with the questions most people ask before installing a heat pump.
How much does an air source heat pump cost in the UK?
A full installation commonly falls somewhere around £8,000–£15,000 before grants, although property size, heat loss, radiators, hot water requirements and installation complexity can all change the final quote.
See the full cost guide →What heat pump grants are available?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme currently offers £7,500 towards eligible air-to-water installations in England and Wales. Qualifying off-gas-grid oil and LPG homes can currently receive £9,000.
Read the grants guide →Are heat pumps cheaper to run than gas boilers?
Sometimes, but not automatically. The result depends on electricity and gas prices, system efficiency, flow temperature, property heat loss, radiator sizing, controls and usage.
Compare running costs →Do I need to replace my radiators?
Not necessarily. A room-by-room heat loss assessment should determine which existing radiators can stay and where larger emitters may help the heat pump operate efficiently.
Read the radiator guide →Which air source heat pump is best?
There is no single model that is best for every property. System design, required flow temperature, noise, sizing, installer experience and after-sales support all matter.
