We Believe in Transparency
Heat pumps are a brilliant technology — but they're not always the cheapest option. At standard electricity rates, running a heat pump can cost more than a gas boiler in well-insulated homes already on mains gas. We show you the real numbers for your postcode, including when the maths doesn't add up.
Where heat pumps always save money is against oil and LPG boilers. If you're off the gas grid, a heat pump with the £7,500 BUS grant is almost certainly your best option — often saving £300-600 per year on heating alone.
We don't sell heat pumps or take commissions from installers. Every figure on this site comes from publicly available data: Ofgem tariff caps, MCS installation records, EPC data, and Heating Degree Day calculations adjusted for your local climate. No spin, just data.
