A typical air-to-water heat pump installation in North Yorkshire costs £8,000–£14,000 before the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The grant provides up to £7,500, which can bring the net cost down to as low as £500–£6,500.

A typical air-to-water heat pump installation takes 2–3 days. If the existing radiators need upgrading or underfloor heating is being added, it may take longer. The full process from initial survey to completed installation is usually 6–12 weeks, including the heat loss survey, Boiler Upgrade Scheme application, equipment ordering, and installation scheduling.

It is recommended your home has an EPC rating of C or better before installing a heat pump. Heat pumps operate at lower flow temperatures than oil or gas boilers, so good insulation is essential for them to work efficiently. Your installer should carry out a heat loss calculation — if your home loses too much heat, they may recommend loft, cavity wall, or external insulation first. Separate grants may be available through schemes such as ECO4 or the Great British Insulation Scheme.
