Hybrid heat pump cost (UK 2026)

Hybrid heat pump cost (UK 2026). The published installed range in 2026 is £8,000 to £14,000 for a hybrid (gas boiler plus ASHP) (heatpumps.org.uk and installer publishers). BUS does not currently apply to new hybrid installations. Both ends of that range are stated rather than collapsed to a midpoint, because the spread reflects real differences in scope, access and grant eligibility rather than installer mark-up.

• Whether the existing boiler is kept (saving £2,000 to £3,000).
• Controls and changeover logic between the two heat sources.
• Running-cost split: hybrids weight heating to gas at low ambient temperatures.
• Carbon trajectory: the hybrid is a transitional answer, not an end-state under the Warm Homes Plan.

Hybrid is a stopgap where fabric cannot be improved enough for a full HP.
