Terms of Use
Plain English terms for using Home Heat Pump Guide. Last updated: 20 October 2026.
These terms are written in plain English because we think legal jargon helps nobody. By using our website, you agree to these terms. The short version: our content is general information, not advice for your specific home. Our cost estimates are not quotes or guarantees. Sending us an enquiry is free and without obligation.
1. What This Site Is (and Isn't)
Home Heat Pump Guide is an information website. We provide general guidance about heat pumps, costs, grants and related topics to help UK homeowners make informed decisions about their heating. Contact: hello@homeheatpumpguide.co.uk.
We are not:
- Heat pump installers or tradespeople
- Financial advisors
- Energy consultants or surveyors
- A substitute for professional advice tailored to your specific home
Our content is for general information purposes. While we strive for accuracy, you should always get a professional survey and quote before making decisions about heating your home.
2. Our Cost Estimates
The cost figures, running cost calculations, and savings estimates on our site are based on publicly available data and clearly stated assumptions. They are provided to give you a general understanding of costs and are not guarantees.
Actual costs depend on your specific property, location, chosen installer, system specification, and current market conditions. The only way to get an accurate, binding price is through a formal quote from an MCS-certified installer following a home survey.
We update our figures regularly (see our methodology page for details), but we cannot guarantee that all figures are current at the exact moment you read them.
3. Our Quote Form
Our quote form lets you request a heat pump quote for your home:
- we pass your request to an MCS-certified installer covering your area, who will contact you about a quote
- installers may pay us for the introduction; you pay us nothing
- sending an enquiry is free and you are under no obligation
- we are not installers. We do not survey homes, quote prices, carry out or supervise installation work, or apply for grants on your behalf
If you later choose to deal with an installer, any quote, contract, deposit, installation or guarantee is between you and that installer. They are responsible for their own work, their MCS certification, any grant application they make for you, and their compliance with consumer law, and you keep all your statutory rights against them. You can check an installer's certification yourself at mcscertified.com.

5. Limitation of Liability
Our guides, calculators and estimates are general information, not advice for your specific home, and they are not quotes. We take reasonable care to keep them accurate, but costs, grants and tariffs change.
- We are not responsible for the work, quotes or conduct of any installer or other business you choose to deal with, except where a loss is caused by our own breach of these terms or our negligence.

7. Accuracy and Updates
We make every effort to keep our information accurate and up to date. Energy rates, grant amounts, and installation costs change regularly. We check energy prices against each Ofgem price cap period, but there may be times when published figures lag behind the latest changes.
If you spot an error, please contact us and we will correct it promptly.
