Air source heat pumps are an investment, and like all long-term home investments, the initial cost can seem a bit daunting. On average, the price of our heat pumps start at around £11,000, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the installation. For a typical 4-bed detached house, you might be looking at a bit higher than that. Don't forget though - there's a government grant* that can take up to £7,500 off this cost!
However, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, as the price can vary depending on other factors such as the type of heat pump, and installation costs. The best way to know for sure is to get a personalised heat pump quote, as we'll work with you to find the best fit for your budget. Plus, there are grants and financing options that can make things way more affordable.
* The Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme is valid for heat pumps that are commissioned from 1 April 2022. To be eligible for the grant, a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) from the last 10 years. Unfortunately new build homes are ineligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Owner and property eligibility apply. To see the full eligibility criteria and exclusions, visit the Government Boiler Upgrade Scheme website.

What are the running costs of an air source heat pump?
Now, let's talk about what happens after heat pump installation. How much will it cost to keep your new heat pump running?
Air source heat pumps are known for their efficiency. They can provide up to three times the heat energy they consume in electrical energy. This efficiency translates to lower running costs, compared to traditional heating systems. Typically, you might expect your electricity bill to increase slightly, but this is often offset by a significant reduction in your gas bill – or the elimination of it altogether if you’re switching from a gas boiler. Explore more about heat pump running costs.
Is an air source heat pump cheaper than gas?
While the upfront cost might be a bit more than a gas boiler, the potential long-term savings are where heat pumps really shine. They're more efficient than gas boilers, which means lower or even non-existent gas bills, and potentially lower energy bills over time. Plus, with the right maintenance, they can last up to 20 years or more.
What is the cheapest way to get a heat pump?
Finding the most cost-effective path to a heat pump involves a combination of grants, finance options, and professional installation and aftercare. Plus, if you're an E.ON Next customer, you're eligible for £350 off your quote just for being with us!
Why is the price of a heat pump so high?
The initial cost of an air source heat pump can seem like a hurdle. Let’s break down the reasons and see why investing in a heat pump can still be a smart move.
ASHPs contain some advanced components, like compressors and heat exchangers, which can add to the cost. However, these components also contribute to their impressive energy efficiency.
A proper ASHP installation requires skilled engineers and can be more complex than a boiler swap. This adds to the initial cost, but it ensures your system works at its best from day one.
