Frequently asked questions
How much does a Octopus Cosy heat pump cost in South West England?
£8,000 to £12,000 installed before the grant, or £500 to £4,500 after a £7,500 grant. These are PumpSwap's indicative 2026 prices; your installer's survey sets the real figure.
Can I get the grant on a Octopus Cosy heat pump in South West England?
Yes, if your home qualifies: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is not tied to a brand, as long as the installer is MCS-certified (Octopus claims it for you on its own installs). It comes straight off the quote.
What would a Octopus Cosy heat pump cost to run in South West England?
Roughly £680 a year for the Cosy 9 to deliver 10,000 kWh of heat at 26.58p per kWh (Ofgem price cap for South Western England, 1 October to 31 December 2026). That assumes a 45°C design flow temperature, estimated from its MCS-certified SCOPs of 4.36 at 35°C and 3.43 at 55°C. A lower flow temperature, with bigger radiators or underfloor heating, costs less to run.
