I've done quite a bit of research this weekend and £7999 doesn't sound bad. I expect that is providing all radiators are good enough and there is no extra insulation required. Thanks for your help Ferdinand

Thanks for all of your help!

😂😂😂 I've read this in some of the heat pump horror stories

My upstairs radiators have a similar look to these. Great choice 🙂

Understood. We also have a towel rail in one of the bathrooms. Thank you

Very useful, thank you. The more I read, I'm starting to understand that they aren't a great solution for all properties.

This is great. Thank you!

We have the airing cupboard which is a good size. How do you heat your property.. electric?

I'll do this tonight!

It's a gas boiler but it's around 8 years old. So really just thinking about the future

Thanks for you reply. Just some of the terminology used. I'm not in the trade but very handy (or so I like to think) when it comes to home improvements, and I have contacts in the trade. I didn't realise that the heat pump installation company had to be registered. Calculating heat losses sounds even more complicated 😂

Hi, I'm in Derbyshire. My house is a 3 bed dettached built late 70s. I'm not 100% sure on sqm but I would guess it's around 130. I have loft insulation but it's definitely not 270mm and I already have cavity... according to the old owners. I will look into getting an Energy Performance certificate asap. I did see that British Gas were advertising a heat pump at £499 but I don't think that was genuine as the grant is £7.5k. Thanks for your help. very useful

Thanks for this, very helpful. I didn't realise there are conditions to be met for the grant, so I'll take a look. Reading some of topics on here it doesn't sound like an easy installation process.

Hi I’m new here and hoping someone can help. I’m looking to install an air source heat pump to my property using the free £7500 grant from the government. I have a few questions before I start getting quotes: I know lots of electricians and a couple of plumbers who have experience in heating. How difficult is it to install them? Will heat pumps work with my designer radiators? House is already well insulated but do I need more? I’ve briefly spoke with this company https://allseasonsenergy.co.uk/ who seem to know their stuff and have some cracking reviews. Anyone know them? Thanks in advance Theo (Jack of all trades, master of none!)
