@jamespawhite, if you could be bothered, you could also get a quote from OVO.

@stevettweed, and can you please get one from OVO?

This is what I got from OVO. At least it was quick..

Price guide for a 4-bedroom home

A heat pump and installation could cost between: £11,500 and £16,500
This is a guide price after the £7,500 government grant* is applied.

British Gas 50* design temp

  • Don’t recall scops but likely close to 400%
  • Replace 7 rads
  • 200l Valiant standard tank
  • 5kw Valiant HP
  • Costs 9k

Seems like BG is having a covid epidemic atm, 4 attempts so far for our initial appointment! I am hoping our install will be lower disrupt..  

As it is just getting the boiler out, fitting a hot water tank and pressure vessels. Install the heatpump. Runs for pipes and cable all outdoors. Simple electrics.. Perhaps replace one rad. 

We have not embarked in the survey phase, we are still working to get into sensible estimate territory. Some folk are asking for over £400 for a survey!

£300 is average as it takes half a day and travel.

Oh My, average installation is 15k inc Grant so £7500 to pay not 11.5-16.5 to pay.
