Figures are estimates for a typical property in Liverpool, based on 2026 UK costs and average local conditions. Your actual cost and savings depend on your property, energy use and installer, and are confirmed by a site survey.
A typical air source heat pump for a home in Liverpool costs between £11,200 and £14,700 fully installed. With the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant of £7,500 applied at the point of sale by an MCS-certified installer, most homeowners here pay from around £5,200.
Liverpool sits in the North West, where lower irradiance is offset by rising grid prices, so payback remains attractive with good self-consumption. Homes in the area are typically terraced and semi-detached homes, which affects the size of heat pump you need and how it's installed — a well-insulated semi needs a smaller (and cheaper) unit than a draughty detached property.
Because electricity in the area runs at roughly 27p per kWh, a heat pump running at 300–350% efficiency delivers heat for a comparable or lower cost than a gas boiler, and far less than direct electric or oil. Pairing it with solar or a time-of-use tariff improves the running cost further.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is a flat £7,500 and is not means-tested — your MCS installer claims it, so you never pay the full price up front. To qualify, the property needs a valid EPC with no outstanding insulation recommendations (loft and cavity wall), and the old system being replaced must be fossil-fuel (gas, oil or LPG).
Heat pump in Liverpool — your questions
How much does an air source heat pump cost in Liverpool?
Typically £11,200–£14,700 installed, or from about £5,200 after the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The exact figure depends on your home's size, insulation and how the system is fitted — a survey confirms it.
Do I qualify for the £7,500 heat pump grant in Liverpool?
Most homeowners do. You need a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity-wall insulation recommendations, and you must be replacing a fossil-fuel system. Your MCS installer applies the grant for you.
Will a heat pump work in an older Liverpool home?
Yes — homes in the area run heat pumps well when correctly sized and paired with the right radiators. A proper heat-loss survey is the key; a good installer will never oversize the unit.
How long does installation take?
Most air source heat pump installations take 2–4 days. Your installer handles the MCS certification and the grant claim.
