How much does a Worcester Bosch heat pump cost in South East England?

Can I get the grant on a Worcester Bosch heat pump in South 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.

What would a Worcester Bosch heat pump cost to run in South East England?

That assumes a 45°C design flow temperature, estimated from its MCS-certified SCOPs of 4.54 at 35°C and 3.29 at 55°C.
