How to get started

Whether you make the switch now or further down the line, we'll all need to embrace carbon neutral energy by 2035. The sooner we can lower our emissions, the sooner we can tackle the climate crisis together - and with the current government incentive set to run until 2025, there's never been a better time to install a new heat pump.

We'd always recommend getting at least three quotes from reputable local suppliers, to give you an idea of the market costs for a new heat pump for your home. Your installer will also be able to recommend any efficient-boosting measured you can take to make your home more suitable for a heat pump. 

Octopus Energy are helping the UK to switch to heat pumps by offering surveys, quotes and installation of heat pumps, as well as a home heating app and dedicated aftercare. Octopus Energy have invested £10 million in the Uk's first heat pump research and development centre to train up new heat pump installers, with the aim of training 1,000 engineers a year here.

Kensa are the UK's leading ground source heat pump specialists, offering solutions for homeowners and developers, as well as answering frequently asked questions in more detail.
