How Much Does an Air Source Heat Pump Cost for a 3-Bedroom House in York?

Thinking about making your home more energy efficient in York? You’re not alone. One of the most common questions we get at Busy Energy is: “How much does it cost to install an air source heat pump in a 3-bedroom detached house in Yorkshire?”

Let’s break it down…

What is an air source heat pump?

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a renewable energy solution that absorbs heat from the air outside and uses it to warm your home and hot water. Even when it’s cold outside, it can still move warmth from the air. Clever stuff.

Cost of Installation – what to expect

For a typical 3-bedroom detached house in York, the cost of installing an air source heat pump can range from around £2,000.00 to £8,500.00 with the BUS Grant. This includes the full supply and installation of the heat pump system, new controls, upgrading radiators where needed and pipework.

What can affect the cost?

Every home is different, so here are the main things that can influence the final price:

• The insulation levels in your home

• The size of your property

• Whether you need new radiators or underfloor heating

• If the hot water cylinder needs upgrading

• Complexity of the pipework or existing heating system

The good news? Help is available

Thanks to the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you could receive a £7,500 grant towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump. That brings the total price down significantly, making it much more affordable.
