What Affects the Cost?

Heat pump costs in East London depend on system type (air source is cheaper than ground source), property size, existing heating infrastructure, insulation quality, and whether radiators need upgrading. Labour rates reflect London's higher costs—typically 20–35% above the national average. Installation complexity, building access, and any structural work required also influence final pricing. Government grants (Boiler Upgrade Scheme) may reduce net costs by £5,000, making your investment more affordable.

Money-Saving Tips

Apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant (£5,000 for heat pumps). Bundle installation with radiator upgrades during works to save on labour. Get multiple quotes from MCS-certified installers to compare pricing. Book installation during quieter seasons (autumn/early winter) for better rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme apply in East London?

Yes. You can claim £5,000 towards an eligible heat pump installation if your home is in England (including East London). Your installer must be MCS-certified. This reduces net costs significantly, making a £8,000 installation effectively £3,000 out-of-pocket.

Why do air source heat pumps cost less than ground source?

Air source units are simpler to install and don't require ground drilling or loop installation. Ground source requires extensive groundwork, specialist engineers, and often planning approval, pushing costs to £12,000–£18,000+. Air source is £5,500–£9,000.

Will I need new radiators for a heat pump?

Not always. Heat pumps work with standard radiators but perform better with larger, low-temperature versions. If your existing radiators are small, upgrades may be needed (£1,500–£4,000 extra). Your surveyor will advise during the feasibility assessment.

How long does a heat pump installation take?

A typical air source installation takes 3–5 days. Ground source can take 2–4 weeks depending on groundwork complexity. Most of this time is labour, materials, testing, and commissioning. Your installer will schedule disruption-free access.
