Heat Pumps & Renewables Burnley — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a heat pump cost in Burnley?
A standard air source heat pump installation typically costs £8,000 to £14,000 before grants. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) currently offers £7,500 off the cost for eligible homes, which we can apply for on your behalf as an MCS-registered installer — bringing the out-of-pocket cost significantly down.
Am I eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Most homeowners in England are eligible as long as the property has a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations, and the system is installed by an MCS-certified installer. We'll check your eligibility as part of your free quote.
Will a heat pump keep my home warm in winter?
Yes. Modern air source heat pumps work effectively in UK winters down to around -15°C. Properly sized and installed, they deliver consistent warmth throughout the coldest months — the key is correct system design, which is where Platinum Heating's experience counts.
Do I need to upgrade my radiators for a heat pump?
Sometimes. Because heat pumps run at a lower flow temperature than gas boilers, some radiators may need to be upsized to keep rooms warm. We survey every room during the quote stage and include any radiator upgrades transparently in the written quote.
Can I have a hybrid heat pump instead of a full replacement?
Yes. A hybrid system pairs a heat pump with your existing gas boiler, giving you the efficiency of a heat pump most of the year with gas backup on the coldest days. It's often a cheaper entry point than a full heat pump conversion and works well in older properties.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Most heat pump installations in Burnley take three to five days, depending on whether radiator upgrades, pipework changes, or a new hot water cylinder are needed. We confirm the exact schedule in your written quote before any work begins.
Will a heat pump save me money on energy bills?
For most homes replacing an older gas boiler — and especially oil, LPG or electric heating — yes. Heat pumps are typically three to four times more efficient than a gas boiler. Combined with the BUS grant and rising gas prices, payback periods keep shortening.
