HEAT pumps are an alternative way of heating your home – but it's important to know how much they cost to run. <\/p>\n

Dropping temperatures and stubbornly high costs mean millions of\u00a0households\u00a0are trying to keep warm without bursting the bank.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To help, we've worked out how much you'll actually be paying to use a heat pump. <\/p>\n

It comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in September announced the government grant for replacing gas boilers with heat pumps will increase by 50% to \u00a37,500. <\/p>\n

What is a heat pump?<\/h2>\n

A heat pump is a type of renewable energy technology that enables you to heat your home in an environmentally friendly way. <\/p>\n

They deliver heat at a lower temperature than\u00a0gas and oil boilers\u00a0so they have to be run for much longer periods at a time.<\/p>\n

There are also ground source heat pumps that take the heat from underground by pumping water through it in pipes.<\/p>\n

Heat pumps take the available heat from the ground or air and increase it to a higher temperature using a compressor.<\/p>\n

It then transfers the heat to the heating system in your home.<\/p>\n

The pump uses electricity to run but it takes less energy than the heat it produces, making it an efficient way to warm your home.<\/p>\n

How much does it cost to run a heat pump?<\/h2>\n

For an average UK home, it\u2019s currently about the same price to run a heat pump as a gas boiler, according to experts at Octopus Energy.<\/p>\n

For customers on a standard variable tariff (SVT), the energy cost of a heat pump is \u00a3868 compared to \u00a3812 for a gas boiler. <\/p>\n

If you completely give up gas by having a heat pump, and have your gas meter removed, you could save \u00a3100 a year on standing charges for gas.<\/p>\n

Standing charges are basically the cost of having a gas supply.<\/p>\n

The standard charge for gas is currently 29.11p per day, but will drop to 29.62 from October 1, 2023.<\/p>\n

Heat pumps also have a longer lifespan than a gas boiler, and a lower risk of failure, according to the Energy Savings Trust. <\/p>\n

It is estimated that the lifespan of a heat pump is around 20 years, compared with between ten and 15 years for a gas boiler.<\/p>\n

This means you should pay far less for maintenance than gas boiler cover – which costs on average \u00a3288 a year, or \u00a32880 over a decade. <\/p>\n
