Submit a QuoteA homeowner in Grimsby shared their quote for a heat pump install, which came in at £2,700. But that figure doesn’t tell the whole story. The original price was £10,200, reduced thanks to a £7,500 government grant. Here’s what was included:
Heat pumps can be a great low-carbon alternative to gas boilers, but the quotes can vary massively and it’s not always clear what’s included. This one shows what’s possible when:
If this homeowner hadn’t known about the grant, they might have assumed a heat pump was out of reach. And because heat pumps still aren’t widely understood in the UK, price transparency matters more than ever. With government grants available, it's no surprise that less experienced or even unscrupulous installers are stepping in to take advantage, making it even harder to know what’s fair or what’s necessary.
It’s worth pointing out: heat pumps aren’t right for every home. Insulation levels, radiator sizes, and heat loss all make a big difference. It’s important to go with an installer who really understands how they work and whether one makes sense for your property.
