What does a heat pump cost?

Short answer: it varies from house to house. Here we go through what affects the price of a heat pump, which grants you can apply for, and how to get an accurate quote.

What affects the price

• The heat demand of the house. A well-insulated 130 m² house may manage with a 6 kW unit; an older 200 m² house needs 12–16 kW.
• Hot water. Cylinder size depends on the size of the household.
• The existing system. Radiators that are too small for a low flow temperature may need replacing.
• Removing the old boiler and oil tank. If the old oil tank has to be decommissioned, it is included in the quote.
• Placement of the outdoor unit. Long pipe runs and a foundation affect the price.

So what does it cost?

Because every house is different, we do not give standard prices. The price varies from job to job, which is why we always visit and inspect the house before giving a no-obligation quote with a fixed price – so you know exactly what you get and what it costs.

Grants

The Danish Energy Agency regularly opens schemes offering grants for replacing oil and gas boilers with heat pumps. The amount depends on the size of the house and the current heat source. The schemes are quickly exhausted, so it is important to have the quote and documentation ready before a scheme opens. We help with the whole application.

Running costs and payback

A heat pump typically delivers 3–4 times as much heat as the electricity it uses. Switching from an oil boiler, the saving on the heating bill is often 40–60 % a year, and with grants and the reduced Danish electricity tax on heat-pump power, the investment pays back within a manageable number of years for most homeowners. We are happy to make a specific calculation for your house.
