# How Much Does an Air Source Heat Pump Cost in Walsall (2026)? > Heat pump cost in Walsall explained: price ranges, the £7,500 grant route and running costs, plus what affects Air Source Heat Pump Installation quotes. URL: https://ecoheatpumpswalsall.online/heat-pump-installation/air-source-heat-pump-installation/air-source-heat-pump-cost-walsall/ **Call [01922 302461](tel:+441922302461) or request a free survey.** We're based in Walsall (WS1) and open 7 days, 9am to 7pm. If you're weighing up a new heating system, the air source heat pump cost is usually the first question, and the answers online vary a lot. [Eco Air Source Heat Pump Installer](https://ecoheatpumpswalsall.online/) is a Walsall-based business, and this guide sets out the published price ranges, what moves a quote up or down, and how the grant works. Every figure is named with its source, so you can check it yourself before you speak to anyone. ## What the published price guides say No single number fits every house, and the national guides don't agree exactly: - The Energy Saving Trust puts the typical UK installation cost at around £12,000 (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). - Worcester Bosch says £5,000 to £15,000 (Worcester Bosch, seen Oct 2026). - Heatable gives £7,000 to £13,000, depending on property size, system design and upgrades (Heatable, 2026). - Renewable Energy Hub says £8,000 to £14,000+ installed (Renewable Energy Hub, 4 Aug 2026). - Checkatrade gives a wider £3,000 to £15,000 for supply and installation, not including extras such as upgrading radiators (Checkatrade, 2026). The wide spread is the point. A small, well-insulated home with radiators already suited to lower temperatures sits at the bottom of these ranges. A larger, older house needing more work sits near the top. A written quote after a survey is the only way to get your own number. ## What pushes a quote up or down **Property size and heat loss.** A bigger or draughtier home needs a larger unit, and that costs more. **The type of system.** Monobloc heat pumps keep everything in one outdoor unit and are cheaper and quicker to install. Split systems can be slightly more efficient (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). **Radiators and pipework.** Heat pumps run at lower temperatures than most boilers, so some radiators may need replacing. That is one of the extras the Checkatrade figure leaves out, so ask for it to be itemised. **The hot water cylinder.** You'll usually need one. A cylinder can normally fit in any cupboard measuring at least 80cm x 80cm (Energy Saving Trust, 2026), so many homes can avoid extra building work. ## Running costs: the other half of the picture The installation price is only part of it. Heat pumps are more than three times more efficient than a gas or oil boiler (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). Electricity is also nearly four times more expensive than gas on standard tariffs, so a heat pump can cost slightly more to run than a new gas or oil boiler. A heat pump time-of-use tariff can bring running costs below a gas boiler (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). So we won't promise you a saving. We'll talk through your current heating and your tariff options at the survey, and you can decide with the facts in front of you. ## Bringing the price down with the grant Homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 towards an air source heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). You must own the property and be replacing a fossil fuel system such as oil, gas, electric or LPG (GOV.UK, 2026). Most new builds, social housing and homes already given government funding for a heat pump don't qualify (GOV.UK, 2026). We are not MCS certified, so the grant comes through our MCS-certified partner. They quote, install and apply for the grant on your behalf, and the grant value is taken off what you pay and shown on your quotation and invoice (GOV.UK, 2026). If you don't need the grant, we install the heat pump ourselves. Either way, you'll get the price in writing first.

You can if you own the property, it's in England or Wales, and you're replacing a fossil fuel system such as gas, oil, electric or LPG (GOV.UK, 2026). The grant comes through our MCS-certified partner, who quotes, installs and applies for you. Check the current rules on GOV.UK. ### Do I need a hot water cylinder? Usually, yes. A cylinder can normally fit in any cupboard measuring at least 80cm x 80cm (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). At your free survey we'll check the space you have and tell you whether any alterations would affect the price. ### Do I need planning permission for a heat pump? Most installations are permitted development, so planning permission isn't normally needed. If you live in a listed building or conservation area, check with your local planning department first (Energy Saving Trust, 2026). --- Eco Air Source Heat Pump Installer · 01922 302461 (+441922302461) · Get Free Quote: https://ecoheatpumpswalsall.online/contact/
