Funding and Costs

Switching to a heat pump is a big decision, and understanding the costs involved is crucial. At Enerus, we believe in full transparency about purchasing costs, running costs, and available heat pump tariffs. Below, we break down what you need to know.

Purchasing & Costs

One of the biggest advantages of installing a heat pump in the UK is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which provides a £7,500 grant towards the cost of installation.
This significantly reduces the upfront investment required.

However, the final installation cost varies based on several factors:

  • Property size – Larger homes generally require more powerful systems.
  • Existing heat source – Converting from gas, oil, or electric heating can impact costs.
  • Current heating system – If your system is already well-suited to a heat pump, installation is simpler.
  • Radiators – The quality and quantity of your radiators affect how efficiently a heat pump can run. In some cases, radiator upgrades may be necessary to maximize efficiency.

At Enerus, we provide tailored quotes based on your home’s specific needs. Use our heat pump calculator to get an estimate today!

Running Costs

A common concern is whether heat pumps are cheaper to run compared to other heating options.

Let’s break it down ⬇️

Heating System Efficiency Energy Cost (p/kWh) Effective Heating Cost (p/kWh)
Gas Boiler (Old – 70%) 70% 6.5p 9.3p
Gas Boiler (Modern – 88%) 88% 6.5p 7.4p
Gas Boiler (High-Efficiency – 92%) 92% 6.5p 7.1p
Electric Storage Heaters 100% 24.5p 24.5p
Heat Pump (SCOP 4.25) 425% 24.5p 5.8p

As you can see, a well-designed heat pump system can be significantly cheaper to run than a gas boiler, especially older models.
Our heat pumps are designed to operate at 45°C flow temperature, optimizing efficiency while maintaining comfort.

Heat Pump Tariffs

Energy suppliers now offer dedicated heat pump tariffs, often with lower unit rates to encourage electrified heating.
