Another winter on oil or gas is the expensive option
Heating prices aren't drifting back to where they were. Every year you stay on oil, LPG or an ageing gas boiler, you pour money into a system you'll have to replace anyway, while a grant that could cover most of the switch quietly counts down.
Bills keep climbing
Oil and LPG prices swing with the market, and gas isn't getting cheaper. The cost of standing still goes up every winter.
Your boiler is on borrowed time
Replace a gas or oil boiler like-for-like and you've spent thousands locking yourself into the same rising bills for another 12 years.
The grant won't wait
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is funded year to year, and the higher off-grid rate runs to a fixed deadline. Money left on the table doesn't roll over.
The heat pump worries you've heard, and the truth
If a forum or a neighbour put you off, you're not alone, and some of those stories are real. But dig into them and it's nearly always the same root cause: a poor design or a rushed install, not the heat pump itself. Get those right and they work beautifully. Here's the truth on the worries that come up most.
The Nordics run on them. It's the design that matters.
Heat pumps are used across Norway, Sweden and Finland in winters far harsher than ours, working in temperatures well below freezing. They heat your home a different way to a boiler, running cooler water for longer to hold a steady, even warmth. When a UK system struggles, it's almost never the technology, it's a rushed design. Sizing it correctly for your home is exactly what our vetting protects.
Older homes are some of the best cases
Especially if you're on expensive oil or LPG. The installer surveys first, checks insulation and radiators, and won't proceed if it isn't right for your home.
Some radiators may change, not all of them
Because a heat pump runs cooler water, some radiators may need upsizing to give out the same heat, and a good design works out exactly which. Many homes keep most of theirs. Your installer measures every room and tells you up front, no surprises, no guesswork.
It depends on the setup, and we're straight about it
A heat pump turns one unit of energy into three or four units of heat, where a boiler manages about one. If you're on oil or LPG, that's a clear win. On gas, the saving needs the right tariff and a properly commissioned system, which is exactly why who installs it matters.
The grant brings it down to about the price of a new boiler
A full air source heat pump system typically runs £8,000 to £14,000 installed, with the government's own figures putting the average around £12,500. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme takes a fixed chunk straight off that price, claimed for you, before you pay.
Average installed cost: Ofgem Boiler Upgrade Scheme statistics, 2026 (8 kW air source heat pump). Your price is confirmed by the installer after survey.
Maximum figures; your eligibility and final amount are confirmed at survey. The £9,000 off-grid uplift (oil/LPG, England and Wales) applies to vouchers from 21 July 2026 to around 31 March 2027, and is subject to change.
The hard part isn't the heat pump. It's not getting a cowboy.
This is the fear the forums are full of: undersized systems that never get warm, running costs 40% higher than they should be because the install was rushed, and firms that take the money then go bust, leaving you with no one to call. If you've held off because of stories like that, that's not nerves, that's good judgement. The problem was never the heat pump. It was having no way to tell a good installer from a risky one. That's the part we fix: we check the installer before we ever hand you over.

Homeowners who were exactly where you are
Each of them started with the same question you're looking at now, and came out the other side warm.
"Off-grid on oil for 14 years and dreading every delivery. One installer, one survey, and the grant covered most of it. The house has never been this warm."
"I kept reading horror stories about firms vanishing. Knowing mine was checked first took the fear out of it. One call, clear quote, done."
"Kept most of the radiators we had, the system was set up properly, and the house holds its heat. Wish I'd stopped procrastinating sooner."
The questions everyone asks first
Straight answers, no small print games.

How much does an air source heat pump cost?
What if the installer does a bad job or goes bust?
Will my phone ring off the hook?

Same house. Very different bills.
One path is another winter feeding a boiler you'll replace anyway, watching prices climb, with grant money left on the table. The other is a warm home, lower bills, and most of the cost covered by a grant that won't be here forever. It starts with one question.
