The move, coupled with a raft of government incentives, will bring down the starting cost to £2,999 in England and Wales. Normally, the cost of installing an air source heat pump would be £8,000, depending on the size of the property.

Energy minister Lord Callanan said: ‘With offers like this, alongside government incentives such as slashing VAT on heat pump installation to zero, government and industry can work together in helping more homeowners to see these benefits in 2023 and beyond.’
