Why Oil & LPG Homes

Why oil and LPG homeowners benefit most

Unlike gas homes, oil and LPG properties are not connected to a national grid — making the switch to a heat pump both simpler and significantly more cost-effective.

💷

Higher grant, bigger saving

The BUS grant gives most homes £7,500 off a heat pump — but oil and LPG homes get up to £9,000, because the government prioritises moving off-grid properties onto greener heating.

📉

Oil & LPG prices are volatile

Heating oil and LPG prices fluctuate with global markets. Switching to a heat pump locks you into stable electricity rates and protects you from fuel price spikes.

🔌

No infrastructure needed

Unlike gas homes, you already have no mains connection to lose. A heat pump runs purely on electricity — no deliveries, no tanks, no supply uncertainty.

Running Cost Savings

How much could you save?

Heat pumps are 2–4× more efficient than oil or LPG boilers, delivering the same warmth for significantly less money each year.

Switching from Typical annual saving
Oil boiler
~£600–£1,200/yr
LPG boiler
~£800–£1,500/yr
Carbon reduction
Up to 70% less CO₂

Based on a typical 3–4 bedroom home. Actual savings vary by property, insulation, and usage. Electricity tariff assumed at current average rates. Oil/LPG prices based on 2024 averages.

Why heat pumps cost less to run
300–400% efficient — for every £1 of electricity, you get £3–4 of heat. Oil and LPG boilers are typically 80–90% efficient.
No fuel deliveries — no top-up costs, no running out, no price surges when global supply tightens.
Works with your existing radiators — most homes can switch without a full system redesign.
20 year lifespan — compared to 10–15 years for a typical oil or LPG boiler.
