A hybrid heat pump combines a heat pump with a gas boiler, which work in tandem to heat your home as efficiently as possible. The heat pump component handles most of the day-to-day heating in your home, while the boiler steps in during colder weather or periods of high demand, allowing your home to stay consistently warm.
For UK homeowners, hybrid systems are one of the most practical routes into low-carbon heating. The system can be installed in most existing homes with minimal disruption as they don’t require major building work, installing a new water cylinder or a complete overhaul of your radiators.

Although every home has different heating requirements, a hybrid heat pump offers homeowners a practical way to benefit from low-carbon heating without having to replace their gas boiler.

A hybrid heat pump typically costs around £5,000-£8,000, which is comparable to a standard boiler replacement. The exact price depends on several factors including the size of the property, installation complexities and boiler compatibility.
