Heat Pump & Heating Calculators UK

Estimate heat-pump running cost and compare useful heat costs against a gas boiler using UK tariff inputs and seasonal performance assumptions.

2 toolsStart with the running-cost calculator if you only want a heat-pump estimate. Use the gas comparison when the decision is whether a heat pump is cheaper to run than your boiler.

Which calculator should I use?

Start with the running-cost calculator if you only want a heat-pump estimate. Use the gas comparison when the decision is whether a heat pump is cheaper to run than your boiler.

How to get a more useful result

Use your own tariff or quote figures, then run the calculator again with a more conservative assumption for the input you are least sure about. A decision that still looks sensible under both cases is more robust than one that only works under optimistic inputs.

Seasonal performance matters

Annual heat-pump cost should be based on a seasonal performance figure (SCOP/SPF), not a single laboratory COP. Your installer or system design should provide a more relevant figure for your home.
