Hybrid heat pumps, often called hybrid systems, are a combination of two home heating technologies. Made up of a gas boiler and a heat pump working in tandem, you get the best of both worlds. From the boiler, you get the familiar controls, reliable heating, and instant action that you’re used to – whilst the heat pump provides heating using the air outside and electricity.
How much do hybrid heat pumps cost?
Installing a hybrid heat pump is cheaper than switching to a heat pump only solution, but the cost depends on whether:
- You already have a boiler installed
- The heat pump be fitted near the existing boiler
- Your existing boiler has hot/cold water tanks
- Your property suits an air or a ground heat pump
So how much is a hybrid heat pump system?
The overall cost is likely to be between £5,000 – £8,000 for a hybrid system installation. If, like most people, you’re just adding a heat pump to your existing boiler set up, your costs could be on the lower end of the scale.

How do heat pumps work?
In a hybrid system, you’ll most likely have an air source heat pump. These work by using exterior units to draw in the outside air and extract natural thermal energy. Even though it might feel chilly outside, the condenser in the heat pump can still extract enough energy to provide heating and hot water for your home.
For the few months when it’s too cold outside, the boiler part of your hybrid system will step in to make sure you’ve always got heating and hot water whenever it’s needed.
