Pricing model and published anchor

Quote-only after home survey; £7,500 BUS grant applied, no headline price published.

Quote-only, survey required. Quote-only vendor: no published headline rate. We do not infer one; we publish the surveyor's note from the vendor page and link to it directly.

Recent changes (as checked 2026-10-01)

OVO installs air-source heat pumps quote-only after a home survey (room-by-room heat-loss design), with the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied; no public price card, and no mention of a heat-pump tariff on the proposition page as at 1 October 2026. Its Heat Pump Plus running-cost tariff is gone entirely: OVO's own community team said new sign-ups were stopped indefinitely in early December 2025, and that "as of 1 February 2026 Heat Pump Plus is no longer available. We've contacted all customers who have been impacted by this change." That withdrawal covered existing customers too, not just new ones, and OVO has not published a replacement, so there is no OVO heat-pump tariff to weigh against Cosy Octopus.

Warranty

Workmanship and parts cover per installation contract.
