What Does It Cost to Install Adlår’s Dual Air Source Heat Pump?
Understand the costs involved in switching to a highly efficient, low-carbon heating system—and how government grants can help reduce your investment.
Overview of Costs
Installing an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) is a smart long-term investment in both your home and the environment, but it’s important to understand the costs upfront. The total cost depends on factors such as the size of your home, your current heating system, and any necessary upgrades. However, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), homeowners can receive up to £7,500 in government grants, making the installation of an ASHP significantly more affordable.
- Installation Costs: Typically range from £8,500 to £14,500, depending on the complexity of your home and the size of the system required.
- BUS Grant: The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers up to £7,500 of the installation cost, significantly reducing your upfront expense.
- Final Cost: After the grant, for smaller properties, the cost could be as low as £1,000, making Adlår one of the most competitive providers in the market. For most homeowners, you’ll be likely to pay between £1,000 and £7,000 for a complete installation.
Factors That Affect the Cost
Several factors influence the final price of your Dual Air Source Heat Pump installation:
- Home Size and Heating Needs: Larger homes will require more powerful systems, increasing the overall cost.
- Current Heating System: If you’re switching from gas or oil boilers, additional upgrades may be needed, such as updating radiators or improving insulation to ensure the efficiency of the ASHP.
- Complexity of Installation: Homes that require extensive site preparation (e.g., electrical upgrades or extra piping) may see higher costs.
- Additional Features: Installing smart thermostats or zoned heating systems can raise upfront costs but offer long-term savings through enhanced energy efficiency.
Government Grants and Incentives
One of the biggest advantages of installing an Air Source Heat Pump is the financial support available from the UK government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).
This grant can cover a substantial part of your installation costs, making the transition to a low-carbon heating system more affordable.
- Up to £7,500 in Grants: The BUS grant helps cover a significant portion of the installation cost, lowering your out-of-pocket expenses.
- Eligibility: Most residential properties are eligible for this grant, as long as you’re replacing a fossil-fuel heating system, such as gas or oil boilers.
At Adlår, we manage the entire application process for you—taking care of the paperwork so you can focus on the benefits of your new heating system.
Return on Investment
Although the upfront cost of an ASHP is higher than a traditional boiler, the long-term savings make it a worthwhile investment. With annual energy savings of up to 40%, most homeowners see a payback period of 5 to 10 years.
- Annual Savings: Homeowners typically save between £395 and £1,400 per year on energy bills, depending on their previous system
