Efficient, low-carbon air source heat pumps installed by qualified professionals nationwide. You may be eligible for up to £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
An air source heat pump (ASHP) absorbs heat from the outside air and uses it to heat your home and provide hot water. Unlike traditional gas boilers, heat pumps run on electricity and produce significantly lower carbon emissions — making them one of the most sustainable heating options available for UK homes.
Modern air source heat pumps work efficiently even in temperatures well below freezing, making them suitable for the UK climate all year round. When paired with solar PV, a heat pump can run largely on free, self-generated electricity.
Heat pumps are suitable for a wide range of homes across the United Kingdom. They work particularly well in:
During our free home assessment, we evaluate your property's insulation, radiator sizing and layout to confirm whether a heat pump is the right choice for you.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government-backed programme that offers grants of up to £7,500 towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump in England and Wales. The grant is applied directly to reduce the cost of installation.
Eligibility depends on several factors including your property type, current heating system and EPC. Eco Simply can help you check whether you may be eligible and guide you through the application process.
The cost of an air source heat pump installation varies depending on the size of your home, the heating system you are replacing and whether any additional work is required such as radiator upgrades or insulation improvements. Every property is different, which is why we carry out a thorough home assessment before providing a quote.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can significantly reduce the upfront cost for eligible homeowners. With a grant of up to £7,500 applied directly to the installation, many UK homeowners find that switching to a heat pump is more affordable than they expected. Eco Simply provides clear, transparent quotes with no hidden fees so you know exactly what to expect.
Heat pumps are highly efficient because they move heat rather than generating it from fuel. A well-installed air source heat pump typically delivers 2.5 to 3.5 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. This means your heating costs can be significantly lower than with an older gas boiler, particularly if your current boiler is rated below 80% efficiency.
If you combine a heat pump with solar PV and battery storage, you can run your heating on self-generated electricity during daylight hours, reducing your reliance on the grid even further.
Air source heat pumps work particularly well with underfloor heating systems because underfloor heating operates at lower water temperatures. This allows the heat pump to run at its highest efficiency. However, underfloor heating is not a requirement — many homes across the UK successfully use heat pumps with upgraded radiators.
During our assessment, we check whether your existing radiators are suitable or whether any changes would help the system perform at its best. We always aim to minimise disruption and cost while maximising long-term efficiency.
As the UK transitions away from fossil fuels, heat pumps are increasingly recognised as the future of home heating. Unlike gas boilers, heat pumps produce zero direct emissions at the point of use and can run on 100% renewable electricity. For homeowners across the UK considering a boiler replacement, a heat pump may be worth exploring — especially with grant support available.
For homes where a heat pump is not yet suitable, we also offer energy-efficient gas boiler installation and can advise on heating controls that reduce waste and lower bills in the meantime.
