Before you get started on your home improvement project, it’s worth getting an idea of the heat pump costs you can expect to see at the end of the installation.
Fortunately, we’ve got you covered with our heat pump cost calculator.
Why should I use the Heat Pump Cost Calculator?
This tool will instantly provide you with the total average cost for your heat pump installation, and the amount you’ll cut from your carbon footprint.
Just choose your home’s size and decide whether you want a free £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant from the government, and you’ll immediately get a price from our heat pump cost calculator for UK homes.
The BUS is designed to alleviate the cost of investing in a heat pump and is available to you if you own your own property, have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and have a maximum installation capacity up to 45kWth.
According to the 2024 National Home Energy Survey, 27% of the UK public are unaware of any available grants and only 28% are aware of the existence of the BUS.
