"The installation cost for ground source heat pumps is between £14,000 to £25,000. That is significantly higher than air source heat pumps because instead of digging trenches or boring holes to reach the constant ground temperature year-round, you are doing one of these two actions. The advantage is 400%+ efficiency and an additional £800 saving each year over air source heat pumps."
"Homeowners in England and Wales can access a flat £7,500 grant for installing ground source heat pumps, with no income checks and no postcode restrictions. To qualify, applicants must meet just three requirements: they must own their property, replace an existing fossil fuel boiler, and use an MCS-certified installer. This straightforward support makes low-carbon heating more accessible to a wide range of households."
Installation costs for ground source heat pumps range from £14,000 to £25,000, higher than air source heat pumps because of trenching or borehole work. Ground systems deliver over 400% efficiency and about £800 extra annual savings compared with air-source alternatives. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a flat £7,500 grant in England and Wales for homeowners who own their property, replace a fossil-fuel boiler, and use an MCS-certified installer, with no income or postcode limits. ECO4 runs until March 2026 and can cover up to 100% of GSHP costs for low-income, benefits-receiving, or fuel-poor households. A separate scheme requires correct application sequencing to avoid losing eligibility.
