How much does an air source heat pump cost in Northamptonshire?
A typical air-to-water air source heat pump installation in Northamptonshire costs between £8,000 and £14,000 before grants, depending on property size, heat loss and whether radiators or pipework need upgrading. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is deducted from that figure, so most homeowners pay between £500 and £6,500. Air-to-air systems start lower, from around £3,000.
Who handles the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant application?
The MCS-certified installer does. According to gov.uk, the £7,500 BUS grant is claimed by your accredited installer on your behalf and deducted from your quote, so you never pay the full amount upfront. The installers we match you with also advise on ECO4 and West or North Northamptonshire council funding.
Will a heat pump work in an older Northamptonshire home?
Most Northamptonshire homes are suitable, including Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, provided insulation is reasonable and radiators are correctly sized. Where a property needs improvement, a local installer can design the system around it or recommend a hybrid setup that pairs a heat pump with your existing boiler.
How long does installation take?
The physical installation usually takes one to three days. End to end, from first survey to a commissioned system, expect two to six weeks, mostly accounting for the survey, system design and grant processing.
Are the installers MCS certified?
We focus on connecting homeowners with MCS-certified installers. MCS certification is required to access the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, so the accredited installer you choose carries out the work to MCS standards and provides your MCS certificate on completion. MCS status is publicly verifiable on the MCS register.
