Frequently asked questions
How much does a Panasonic Aquarea heat pump cost in North East England?
Panasonic Aquarea does not publish an installed price and no credible third-party figure exists, so we show none.

Can I get the grant on a Panasonic Aquarea heat pump in North East England?
Yes, if your home qualifies: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is not tied to a brand, as long as the installer is MCS-certified. It comes straight off the quote.

Roughly £615 a year for the Aquarea L Series 9kW to deliver 10,000 kWh of heat at 25.46p per kWh (Ofgem price cap for North Eastern England, 1 October to 31 December 2026). That assumes a 45°C design flow temperature, estimated from its MCS-certified SCOPs of 4.71 at 35°C and 3.57 at 55°C.
