Compare costs, running expenses, and long-term savings. - ASHP: £7,000-£13,000 (£2,000-£5,500 after grant) - GSHP: £20,000-£35,000 (£12,500-£27,500 after grant) - Running costs: £500-£800/year vs £800-£1,200 for gas - 0% VAT on all heat pump installations Get Free Quote: https://www.greentechrenewables.co.uk/heat-pumps#heat-pump-estimate 0333 577 7010: 03335777010 ## Air Source Heat Pump Costs The average cost of an air source heat pump installation in the UK is £7,000-£13,000 before grants. With the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, your out-of-pocket cost reduces to as little as £2,000-£5,500. Prices vary depending on the size of your property, the brand of heat pump, and any additional work required. A typical 3-bedroom semi-detached house would need an 8-12kW heat pump, costing around £9,000-£11,000 before the grant. Larger detached properties may require a 12-16kW system at £11,000-£14,000. These prices include the heat pump unit, hot water cylinder, installation, MCS certification, and commissioning. ## Ground Source Heat Pump Costs Ground source heat pumps are more expensive to install at £20,000-£35,000 due to the cost of ground works (boreholes or horizontal trenches). However, they also qualify for the £7,500 BUS grant, and their higher efficiency means lower running costs over the system's 25-30 year lifespan. The higher upfront cost is offset by superior efficiency — ground source systems typically achieve a COP of 4.0-5.0 compared to 3.0-4.0 for air source. Ground temperatures remain stable at 10-12°C year-round, providing more consistent performance than air source units. ## Running Costs vs Other Systems Annual running costs for an air source heat pump are typically £500-£800, compared to £800-£1,200 for gas, £1,200-£1,800 for oil, and £1,500-£2,500 for electric heating. Ground source heat pumps can be even cheaper at £400-£700 per year. With 0% VAT on heat pump installations and the £7,500 BUS grant, the total cost of ownership over 20 years is typically 20-40% lower than gas heating and 50-70% lower than oil or LPG heating. As electricity prices are expected to fall relative to gas, these savings will increase over time. ## Related Guides & Resources ### Heat Pump Systems Samsung & Vaillant air source heat pump installation. https://www.greentechrenewables.co.uk/heat-pumps ### BUS Grant (£7,500) How to claim your Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. https://www.greentechrenewables.co.uk/boiler-upgrade-scheme-bus ### How Heat Pumps Work Understand the technology behind air source heat pumps. https://www.greentechrenewables.co.uk/ashp/how-do-heat-pumps-work ### Radiators for Heat Pumps Sizing guide, upgrade costs, and radiator compatibility. https://www.greentechrenewables.co.uk/ashp/radiators-for-heat-pumps ### Heat Pump Costs Full pricing guide for heat pump installation. https://www.greentechrenewables.co.uk/ashp/how-much-does-a-heat-pump-cost ### Are Heat Pumps Worth It?
