If you’re embarking on a home renovation, you’ll naturally be looking at a number of different ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home. The chances are your heating system will need an overhaul, making it the perfect time to consider switching to a heat pump.

If you’re new to home renovating, you may have some questions about heat pumps, which is where the experts from E.ON Next can help.
Is my home suitable for a heat pump?
Taking the guesswork out of the equation is the key to success when including a heat pump in your home renovations. This is why E.ON Next’s tailored home assessment service is essential for anyone looking to make the switch. As part of the assessment, the surveyor will look at your home including factors such as your levels of insulation, or if you need radiator upgrades.
A heat pump is generally suitable for use in most types of home, and you can use a heat pump in an old house too, as long as it has been correctly assessed. This is why getting a bespoke quote and proposal such as the one offered by E.ON Next is the best way to ensure that your new heat pump keeps you and your family warm when you need it.
What are the benefits of a heat pump?
Installing an E.ON Next heat pump will bring a host of benefits. With the incredible energy efficiency offered by air source heat pumps – they can produce up to three times more energy than they consume – they are the ultimate strategic move towards future-proofing your home and reducing your energy bills.
According to the Energy Saving Trust*, you could save up to £260 per year by replacing an old G-rated gas boiler, or up to £700 per year for an old G-rated LPG boiler, making it a smart move when renovating your home.
Which heat pump is more suitable for a home renovation?
An air source heat pump is generally considered to be the most suitable option for home renovators. Providing both hot water and heating, an air source heat pump can be used with radiators or underfloor heating as it offers a consistent, steady temperature in comparison to a boiler, which works in short bursts at high temperatures.
Will a heat pump be easy to use?
Using a heat pump is easy, and your E.ON Next installer will explain exactly how to get the optimum performance from yours. Heat pumps work best when they operate on a slow and steady output, which means you can be sure of a warm home whenever you need it.
How much will a heat pump cost?
With grants of up to £7,500 available through the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme which is part of the Warm Homes Plan, including a heat pump in your home renovation plans could be less expensive than you think.
Worried about the application process? Don’t be. E.ON Next also deals with the application process for you, and once the grant has been agreed, according to the E.ON Next website, you can expect to pay around £5,000 – based on an average starting price of £12,000.
E.ON Next’s 0% heat pump finance, could also be a savvy way to make your home renovation budget stretch a little further. Or, if you are already an E.ON Next tariff customer, you could claim an additional £200 towards the cost of your heat pump, making it a win-win investment.
Is the installation process complicated?
Thanks to a dedicated E.ON Next heat pump support team, the process of buying and installing a heat pump during your home renovation is easy. There are just four simple steps from assessment through to the fully managed installation, which is undertaken by qualified MCS experts. It’s a hassle-free process, which means you can concentrate on the other elements of your home renovation plans.
The benefits don’t end at installation either. All heat pumps come with a seven-year product warranty and a two-year installation warranty. Most installations are completed within five working days, depending on whether your home needs any additional changes, such as radiator upgrades, pipework alterations or electrical work.
Will a heat pump require much maintenance?
Like a standard boiler, a heat pump will require an annual service conducted by a registered installer. This will also ensure your warranty remains valid.
