## In short

Air source heat pumps typically cost £8,000–£15,000 installed; ground source systems cost more. Grants may reduce net cost; radiator or underfloor upgrades and electrical work add extra. Get multiple MCS-certified quotes.

Running costs depend on insulation, flow temperature and electricity tariff.

Hybrid heat pump plus boiler systems cost more but suit hard-to-treat homes.
