Frequently asked questions
How much does a LG Therma V heat pump cost in Scotland?
LG Therma V does not publish an installed price and no credible third-party figure exists, so we show none. For scale, the median Boiler Upgrade Scheme install cost £12,908 before the grant (DESNZ Boiler Upgrade Scheme median, April to June 2026). In Scotland a £7,500 grant comes off whatever your installer quotes.
Can I get the grant on a LG Therma V heat pump in Scotland?
Yes, if your home qualifies: the Home Energy Scotland grant is not tied to a brand. Apply and get approval before the work starts.
What would a LG Therma V heat pump cost to run in Scotland?
Roughly £570 a year for the Therma V R290 Monobloc 12kW to deliver 10,000 kWh of heat at 26.11p per kWh (Ofgem price cap for Southern Scotland, 1 October to 31 December 2026). That assumes a 45°C design flow temperature, estimated from its MCS-certified SCOPs of 5.33 at 35°C and 3.86 at 55°C.
