Air source heat pump running cost - Savings

Domestic Savings with Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps offer an efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating systems—delivering substantial cost savings in both domestic and commercial settings. When combined with government incentives, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), the financial returns can exceed those of typical bank savings rates, making it a smart long-term investment.

Government Support & Carbon Reduction Goals

As part of its legal commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the UK Government has introduced a range of policies to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, including:

  • ban on the installation of new gas boilers from 2035
  • The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), offering grants of up to £7,500 towards the installation of air source heat pumps
  • Continued emphasis on low-carbon heating as a key part of domestic energy strategy

These policies aim to make low-carbon technologies more accessible and affordable, accelerating the transition to cleaner energy sources across the UK.
