No, heat pumps work in old houses too. EPC rating, fabric quality, and correct design matter more than the age of the property. Here is what to check.
The short answer: it depends on tariff, install quality, and your heat loss. With solar and battery, heat pumps win comfortably. Here is the honest breakdown.
No, you don't always need new radiators when installing a heat pump. Many existing radiators are already heat-pump-ready. A proper survey reveals exactly which ones.
Yes, heat pumps work in UK winters. 63% of Norwegian homes run them, and Norway is far colder than the UK. The key is correct design and a high-standard install.
A heat pump and solar PV already cut your bills. Adding battery storage with an off-peak tariff is what tips the maths properly in your favour. Here is how it works, the tariffs to look at, and why we recommend around 20 kWh of storage for heat pump homes.

In 2026, running a heat pump can cost slightly more than a gas boiler, roughly £30 to £40 extra a year for a typical UK home. Results depend on insulation, heating habits and tariffs. Solar or smart tariffs can offset the cost.
Heat pumps can be a smart investment for many UK homes, especially those off the gas grid or aiming to cut carbon emissions. Installation costs can be offset by the government’s £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Modern units work even in cold weather and are around three times more efficient than traditional boilers. Some homeowners may pay slightly more per year in electricity, but with solar panels or flexible tariffs, running costs can even out. A professional assessment is the best way to know if a heat pump suits your home.
