A premium quality air source heat pump will usually cost around £7,000 to purchase, and with installation outlay factored in, somewhere between £10,000 and £10,500 to be properly fitted.
Depending on whether the property requires extra radiators for air source heat pumps, or another extra heating vice to ramp up the heat output such as underfloor heating, labour costs could be greater still.
But whilst air source heat pump installation costs are generally quite high, prospective buyers should consider that they will be eligible for financial assistance from the outset. From October 2023 onwards, the government has rewarded homeowners in the UK and Wales with £7,500 subsidies for switching to air source heat pumps from gas boilers in a bid to reduce carbon emissions overall.
