Questions to ask before you book
Are you MCS-certified, and will you handle the £7,500 grant application?
The right installer says yes to both without hesitating — the grant claim is part of a normal heat pump install.
How many air source heat pumps have you installed in homes like mine?
Ask for homes of a similar age and type. A fitter used to modern builds may under-spec outflow upgrades for an older property.
Does your quote include a hot water cylinder and radiator upgrades, or are they extras?
A heat pump is a system. Hidden extras for the cylinder (£1,000–£2,500) or radiators (£800–£3,000) are the most common surprise on a quote.
What SCOP will this unit achieve in my home, and what's my estimated running cost?
A good installer gives you a projected SCOP and annual running cost, not just a headline efficiency figure from the brochure.

Installer — Frequently Asked Questions
Heat pump installer FAQs
- How do I find a good heat pump installer in the UK?
- Look for an MCS-certified installer — it's a legal requirement for Boiler Upgrade Scheme grants and the mark of a properly trained fitter. Start with the MCS certified installer directory, check reviews on Trustpilot/Google, and always get at least 3 quotes so you can compare how each boots the unit, cylinder and radiator upgrades.
- Do I have to use a specific installer to get the £7,500 grant?
- Yes — the Boiler Upgrade Scheme requires the work to be completed by an MCS-certified installer who claims the grant on your behalf. Any MCS-registered installer can do it; you're not locked into one company. Get 3 quotes from different MCS installers to make sure the grant is fairly applied.
- How much should a heat pump installation cost, including labour?
- Installation labour typically runs £2,500–£4,500 for an air source heat pump, on top of a £4,000–£8,000 unit. With the £7,500 grant, a complete 3-bed install usually lands at £3,500–£8,500 for the homeowner. Always get a written line-item quote before agreeing.
- How long does a heat pump installation take?
- A typical air source heat pump install takes 2–5 days including the outdoor unit, pipework, electrical connection, hot water cylinder and commissioning. Ground source installations take longer because of the groundwork — often 1–2 weeks plus drilling/trenching.
- What checks should I do before booking an installer?
- Confirm they're MCS-certified, that they'll handle the BUS grant application, and get a fixed written quote covering the unit, cylinder and any radiator upgrades. Ask how many heat pumps they've installed in homes like yours, and check they've seen your EPC before quoting.
