Why Switch

Why choose a heat pump?

Lower bills, lower carbon, longer lifespan than a boiler.

Lower Running Costs

Heat pumps are 300% efficient: for every 1kW of electricity, you get 3kW of heat. Typical savings of £500–£1,300/year vs gas, oil, or LPG.

Up to £9,000 Grant Available

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers £7,500 of your installation cost, or £9,000 if you're replacing an oil boiler. We handle the entire application. You just get the confirmation email.

20+ Year Lifespan

Heat pumps last over 20 years, nearly double a gas boiler. Less maintenance, no annual gas safety checks, fewer breakdowns.

Zero Carbon Heating

Heat pumps produce no on-site emissions. Pair with solar panels for virtually free, zero-carbon heating.

Future-Proof

The gas boiler ban on new builds starts 2025. Heat pumps are the future of home heating, so get ahead of the curve.

0% VAT

Heat pump installations are VAT-free until 2027. That's a saving of up to £2,000 on a typical installation.

Local Knowledge

Heat Pumps in Bridport

Bridport is a West Dorset market town near the Jurassic Coast, with stone cottages and Victorian terraces around the town centre alongside post-war and newer homes on the outskirts. Older solid-wall properties suit heat pumps well when the system is designed properly, which is why we start every job with a detailed heat loss calculation and only recommend radiator changes where they're genuinely needed. The rural hinterland around Bridport is largely off the gas grid, so homes in villages like West Bay, Beaminster, Burton Bradstock, and Charmouth often run on oil boilers, and those properties qualify for the higher £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant when replacing oil with an air source heat pump. That makes switching from oil particularly cost-effective in this area, and we understand the specific requirements of the local housing stock.

Got Questions?

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the most common heat pump questions.

How much does a heat pump cost?
A typical air source heat pump installation costs £10,000–£16,000 before the grant. After the £7,500 BUS grant and with 0% VAT, most homeowners pay between £2,500 and £8,500. The exact cost depends on your property size, whether radiators need upgrading, and the complexity of the installation.
Will a heat pump heat my home properly?
Yes, when properly designed and installed. We carry out detailed heat loss calculations for your specific property and design the system to meet your heating needs. Modern air source heat pumps work efficiently down to -20°C. Your home will be just as warm as with a gas boiler.
Do I need to change my radiators?
Not always. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than boilers, so some radiators may need upsizing to deliver the same heat output. We assess every radiator during the survey and only recommend changes where necessary. Many homes need no radiator changes at all.
How long does installation take?
Most installations take 2–5 days. A straightforward swap from a gas boiler with no radiator changes might take 2–3 days. More complex installations involving radiator upgrades, new hot water cylinders, or extensive pipework can take up to 5 days.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern air source heat pumps operate at around 40–45dB, about the same volume as a fridge or a quiet conversation. Planning rules require units to be no louder than 42dB at the nearest property boundary. We position units carefully to minimise any impact.
Do I qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Most homeowners qualify. The standard grant is £7,500, rising to £9,000 if you're replacing an oil boiler. You need a valid EPC (we can arrange this), and the property must not be a new build. The grant is available for owner-occupiers, private landlords, and self-builders. Social housing is excluded. We check your eligibility during the free survey.
