Why Install a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat a home — here is what that means for you
For every unit of electricity used, a heat pump produces 3 or more units of heat. No gas boiler can match that.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards your installation cost. We handle the application for you.
A heat pump replaces your boiler entirely — providing both central heating and hot water from a single system.
A well-installed and properly maintained heat pump will typically last 20 years or more — far longer than a gas boiler.
Heat pumps produce significantly fewer carbon emissions than gas boilers, especially as the electricity grid gets greener.
Modern heat pumps run quietly and require minimal maintenance — just an annual service to keep them performing at their best.

What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a UK government grant of £7,500 that reduces the upfront cost of installing an air source heat pump. It is available to homeowners in England and Wales replacing a gas, oil, LPG boiler or electric storage heaters with a heat pump installed by an MCS certified installer like Flow Energy.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In most cases, air source heat pumps are covered by permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. This depends on property type and location — Flow Energy will advise you during the survey stage.
