Compare heat pump quotes with one enquiry
Fill in the form with your postcode and what you want done, and it can go to as many as four independent heat pump businesses who handle air-to-air heat pump installation, ground source heat pump installation, heat pump cylinders, radiator upgrades, system design and sizing, and fault diagnosis and repair.
The matching service is free. How many businesses reply depends on the job and who is free, so you may hear from fewer than four. You decide whether to book anyone. A business may charge for a survey or a call-out, so ask before agreeing to a visit.
After you send the form
- Describe the job. Add your postcode, how the property is heated now and what you want installed, upgraded or repaired.
- Talk it through. Businesses may ask for photos, a floor plan, an energy performance certificate or a survey visit.
- Compare the quotes. Check the equipment, heat loss figures, groundwork, controls, guarantee and VAT on each one.
- Choose, or don’t. Any booking, written price and scope are settled between you and that business.
Guide UK heat pump prices
Each row below is our budgeting guide for a typical job of that type. Installation rows allow for ordinary equipment and labour; service and design rows cover only the work described. These are indicative allowances, not fixed quotes or a promise that every job fits the range. The ground source row covers a complete installed system, and the design row covers an independent report, not an installer’s own free survey. Check VAT and any survey or call-out fee with the business.
| Service | Guide range | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Air-to-Air Heat Pump Installation | £1,500–£5,000 | Number of rooms, pipe length and wall construction |
| Ground Source Heat Pump Installation | £20,000–£45,000 | Loop type, ground conditions and the size of the house |
| Heat Pump Cylinder Installation | £1,200–£3,000 | Cylinder size, position and discharge route |
| Heat Pump Radiator Upgrades | £1,000–£5,000 | Number of radiators, their size and any pipework changes |
| Heat Pump System Design and Sizing | £300–£1,200 | Desktop or full survey, and the size of the property |
| Heat Pump Fault Diagnosis and Repair | £150–£1,000 | Which part has failed and whether it is in stock |
| Single standard panel radiator supplied and fitted | £250–£600 | Size, valves and modest pipe alterations; fan-assisted models can cost more |
| Routine air source heat pump service | £150–£300 | Model, travel and checks included; repairs and parts are separate |
The two additional rows are related jobs to discuss with the business, not automatic additions to every quote. These are starting budgets. A complex installation, a deep borehole or a compressor failure can exceed them. If you are claiming a grant, compare quotes before the grant is applied and ask how the installer handles the paperwork.
For context, the Energy Saving Trust’s air-to-air guide gives examples within our installation range. Its heat pump cost guide also shows why difficult borehole projects can exceed our ground source allowance. Published heat pump servicing prices and radiator replacement prices provide useful comparisons for the smaller jobs. Confirm the exact scope and VAT on your own quote.
When a job costs more than the guide
An air-to-air system serving many rooms with long pipe runs can pass £5,000. A ground source installation with deep boreholes in rock can pass £45,000. A faulty compressor or a refrigerant leak can take a repair well beyond £1,000. A new consumer unit or a larger electrical supply can add to any installation.
The size of the property, its insulation, the existing heating and the access to the site all change the price. Location, urgent attendance, premium equipment and optional cover can affect it too.
Useful details for each job
- Air-to-air: the rooms to be heated or cooled, wall types and where an outdoor unit could stand.
- Ground source: garden size, access for machines, soil if known and how the house is heated now.
- Cylinders: household size, number of bathrooms and the space available, including door and hatch sizes.
- Radiator upgrades: the rooms that stay cold, the size of the radiators in them and any heat loss report.
- Design and sizing: age and construction of the house, floor area, extensions and any quotes you hold.
- Fault repair: make, model, age, error code and when the fault began.
Agree what the quote covers
Ask for equipment by make and model. Confirm the heat loss calculation, cylinder, buffer tank, controls, electrical work and making good are listed. For a new installation, check the commissioning, registration of the guarantee and the building control or competent person certificate are included.
If the installer finds another problem during the work, agree that they will explain it and get your approval before spending more. Read the guarantee terms. Many manufacturers require an annual service, and missing it can affect the cover.
Check the installer is qualified
We ask businesses who join for their insurance details and references, but you should still check their current cover and qualifications before booking. For a grant under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, the installer must be MCS certified. Work involving fluorinated refrigerant needs the appropriate individual qualifications and company certification where required, as set out in the F-gas guidance and unvented cylinders need specific training.
Each business runs independently, and the contract and payment are between the two of you. We cannot send anyone in an emergency. If someone at home is vulnerable to the cold and the heating has failed, contact a business directly and explain.
Frequently asked questions
Will I get exactly four quotes?
No. Your enquiry can be matched with up to four heat pump businesses, but replies depend on the work, the postcode and who is available. You do not have to accept any quote.
Do installers charge to survey?
Some do. The matching costs nothing, but a business may charge for a survey or a call-out. Ask before the visit, and ask whether the fee comes off the installation price if you go ahead.
Is a heat pump right for my home?
It depends on the heat loss of the property, the heat emitters, the outdoor space and your hot water needs. A room-by-room heat loss calculation is the best way to find out, and a good installer will offer one before quoting.
What paperwork should I keep?
Keep the written quote, the invoice and any certificates. For a new heat pump, keep the commissioning record, the MCS certificate where one applies, the guarantee registration and the building control or competent person certificate.
Check funding before ordering
Grant eligibility depends on the property, system and scheme rules. Check the current Boiler Upgrade Scheme guidance for England and Wales, including eligible air-to-air systems, and confirm installer certification and application arrangements before ordering. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different support arrangements.
