About Heat Pump Grant Calculations

Understanding your net cost after grants is essential for making an informed decision. The BUS grant provides a flat £7,500, while Scottish funding can eliminate upfront costs entirely. Installation costs vary by property size, system type, and location. Our interactive calculator provides personalised estimates. Local authority top-ups can further reduce costs. Homeowners also adding solar panels should factor in combined grant stacking and ongoing energy savings.
