HEAT PUMP V'S BOILER?
Likely cost
It’s worth saying before we go any further that a heat pump V’s boiler cost comparison is very difficult to do as cost can vary massively, with the boiler but especially on the Heat Pump side. There are properties where installing a heat pump is not even possible but below we try to give you some indication of what you could expect. This comparison is based on a mid sized house with good insulation. The property currently having fitted a 20 year old open vented boiler with a copper cylinder. There being enough outside space to install the heat pump on the side of the property and enough space to install an Unvented cylinder near the heat pump.
BOILER
Vaillant 832 plus, flue, filter and controls £2050
Installation and power flushing £850
System conversion and likely general upgrading cost £450
Total £3350
HEAT PUMP
Vaillant Arotherm plus 7.5kw £3600
Vaillant 250lt heat pump cylinder £1475
Installation controls and pipework costs £4650
Likely upgrade to heating system (larger radiators etc) £3800
£13475
Less government grant of up to £7500
Total £5975
Energy bills cost
Even though you will use far fewer KW to heat your house with a heat pump the energy bill would be broadly very similar due to gas being far cheaper than electricity. However if comparing a Heat pump to LPG, oil or standard electric heating the savings would be very substantial.

When our boiler broke during a cold snap PDL Heating responded promptly, clearly outlined our options and provided a very reasonable quote for a new boiler. They pulled out the stops to get this installed a few days later, within budget and on time. We are very pleased with the boiler, the quality of the work and professional service received. We’ve found PDL to be reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy and would happily recommend to others.Verified reviewerJob location: HD9

Approached PDL for power flush and advice on current heating. Paul the owner, provided sound factual advice, quoted promptly. We didn’t feel pressurised, and Paul answered all our questions. Having installed 3 combi boiler systems previously, we could tell Paul knew his stuff so we invested in the Valiant boiler and UFH system he proposed. Our heating is now balanced and quick to warm up the house. The shower seems to be more powerful and water is definitely hotter. In all our experience, PDL are the best heating company we have used, so we have no hesitation in recommending.
I couldn’t praise Paul and Rob enough for the job they’ve carried out, from the initial visit and quote to carrying out the job over the past 2 days. Both really pleasant guys, really knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I’ve already asked them to come back to carry our further week which we need doing.
Excellent work, very professional Great chaps who cleaned up after them selves I would highly recommend PDL He was recommended to me by my neighbour and my Uncle.
