What is the Air Source Heat Pump Grant?
What is the Air Source Heat Pump Grant?
The Heat Pump Grant, offered through the ECO4 scheme, allows eligible UK homeowners to have a free air source heat pump installed in their homes. It delivers clean, efficient heat to your home at absolutely no cost.
Air source heat pumps are 400% more efficient than traditional systems. They capture heat from outside air—even in temperatures as low as -15°C. This makes them a low-carbon, highly effective solution for heating and hot water all year round.
How Does an Air Source Heat Pump Work?
- Heat Absorption: An outdoor unit draws outside air with refrigerant that absorbs the available heat.
- Compression: The heat that is absorbed in this system is raised in temperature by the compressor.
- Heat Transfer: The heat then circulates through radiators, underfloor heating, or water systems in your home.
- Cooling Option: Heat pumps can reverse the process in order to cool down your home efficiently during the colder months.

Get the Perfect Heat Pump to Suit Your Home
- We Install Air to Water Heat Pumps Absolutely Free
Air-to-water heat pumps have the added advantage of providing two benefits in one system: transferring heat to water for quick central heating and hot water for daily use. Such heat pump systems are 200-400% efficient and, hence, very high-performance options for houses with hydronic (water-based) heating systems.
They supply both radiators and underfloor heating and also heat tap water. Usually costing anywhere between £2,500 and £8,500, these energy-saving installations are free to you through the ECO4 scheme.
- You Can Also Get Hybrid Air Source Heat Pumps
Hybrid air source heat pumps combine the reliability of a gas boiler with the efficiency of an air-source heat pump, ensuring your home stays warm even in extreme cold. This system suits larger households that have increased heating demands because it offers heating and hot water reliably.
Although most hybrid systems usually cost between £10,000 and £18,500, you could get one completely free if you qualify under the ECO4 scheme!

What Does the Government Heat Pump Grant Cover?
The government’s ECO4 scheme isn’t limited to just installing heat pumps. Qualified households can receive a range of additional upgrades designed to lower energy bills and enhance their EPC rating.
- Free Air-to-Water Heat Pump
Receive a brand-new air-to-water heat pump installation wholly covered under the ECO4 scheme. An efficient system that allows your home to be heated and hot water provided, all at zero upfront cost.
- Solar Panel Installation
When qualified applicants apply, solar panels can be installed absolutely free. That reduces electricity bills by shifting reliance to the renewable, home-greener system.
- Adding Insulation
The grant might also include loft and cavity wall insulation, further increasing EPC rating and reducing heat loss, provided your property qualifies for this. This keeps your home warmer and reduces the need to use additional heating.
- Full Installation Cost Coverage
The scheme covers in full all the costs of installation, from processing the application to property surveys. It installs the heat pump with any additional upgrades that might be required so you end up having a more efficient home with no upfront expense.

Older Heating Systems That Can Be Upgraded
Outdated heating systems are usually expensive and inefficient. The ECO4 grant enables one to take out such systems and replace them with a high-technology air source heat pump at no cost. It brings modern efficiency and savings into play.
Outdated boilers
The general inefficiency of older boilers – non-condensing in particular – translates to wasting energy and, therefore, higher bills with greater emissions. Replacing them with heat pumps can improve efficiency by a factor of 400%, further cutting carbon footprint.
Storage Heaters
Storage heaters rely on electricity, which is expensive and inefficient. Upgrading to an air source heat pump provides consistent, affordable warmth throughout your home, providing heating and hot water in a way more efficiently than before.
Fossil Fuel Systems
Systems using oil, coal, or gas contribute to higher emissions and rising fuel costs. By switching to a heat pump– a renewable source for heating –you help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, cut energy costs, and help attain the clean energy goals of the UK.
