Check if your property could be suitable
Oil and LPG prices can be unpredictable, and when you rely on delivered fuel, you’re often exposed to sudden changes in running costs. For many off‑grid households, that makes budgeting (and comfort) harder than it needs to be.
Older oil and LPG boilers can also become more expensive to maintain over time, especially as parts, servicing, and performance start to slip.
An air source heat pump is a modern alternative that can provide efficient heating and hot water when it’s designed correctly for your home. If you’re considering an upgrade, we can help you work out whether it’s a sensible fit; and what it would look like in practice.
If you’re not sure whether this applies to you, this quick check will help. This page is written for off-grid homeowners who currently rely on oil or LPG and want clear, practical advice on whether an air source heat pump could be a sensible upgrade including how the £9,000 BUS may fit in.
