About UK Heat Pump Guide

UK Heat Pump Guide is an independent information resource dedicated to helping homeowners in England and Wales make informed decisions about heat pump heating systems.

Our mission

The UK is undergoing a major shift in home heating. With the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme offering £7,500 grants and new build homes required to use low-carbon heating from March 2027, heat pumps are becoming the standard for UK homes.

We believe every homeowner deserves access to clear, unbiased information about heat pump costs, savings, and installation, without the pressure of a sales pitch. Our guides are based on official data from GOV.UK, OFGEM, Energy Saving Trust, and MCS.

How we work

Every guide and article on UK Heat Pump Guide follows a strict editorial process:

  1. Research: We gather data from official UK sources (GOV.UK, OFGEM, Energy Saving Trust, MCS)
  2. Write: Our lead writer creates the content, focusing on clarity and practical value
  3. Review: An MCS-certified engineer reviews all technical claims and cost data
  4. Update: We review and update all guides quarterly to reflect the latest tariffs and scheme changes

Our quote service

When you request a quote through our site, we connect you with up to 3 MCS-certified installers in your area. This service is completely free and carries no obligation. We are a referral service, not an installation company.

We only work with MCS-certified installers because MCS certification is required to access the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and it provides a guarantee of installation quality backed by a consumer protection scheme.
