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.
At Busy Energy, we’ll guide you through the grant application process and take care of all the paperwork for you.
How much could I save?
You could save hundreds on your energy bills each year, especially if you’re switching from an oil, LPG or electric system. Plus, with regular heat pump servicing, you’ll keep your system running efficiently for years to come.
