just checked again the government program - they pay 40% for the system (if meets requirements whch is typical German admin language) - so it could work out with 30-40k - but in a nutshell makes only sense when gas system is old and has to be replaced anyway - now not really an option I think. We will see :-)

We can get a £7500 grant and Octopus says it would only cost another £500 for the heat pump. Actual cost will depend on other factors, but I would want to get an proper quote. Our boiler is getting on a bit, so I will consider it when that needs replacing.
Yeah many factors and many different sources that tell what it wil / could cost dpeending on certain factors - here a ballpark screenshot (In German)
Rough translated (but all depends on "factors" :-))
How much does it cost to convert a gas heating system to a heat pump?
Converting a gas heating system to a heat pump costs between €25,000 and €50,000, depending on the output and type of heat pump. The purchase costs for the heat pump are between €20,000 and €35,000, up to 40% of which is subsidized by government grants.
The total costs for the gas heating system are calculated as follows:
Cost center of the conversion Costs
Disposal of gas heating € 2,000 - 3,000
Purchase of heat pump 20,000 - 35,000 €
Installation of heat pump incl. accessories € 3,000 - 12,000
Total costs € 25,000 - 50,000
I could read the German :)
Maybe the German market is different to the UK, but costs here seem much lower. Looks like an opportunity for someone to offer a better deal.
I think this is a loot driven by our lovely government so no real chance for private companies to get around with better offers - we live in a stasi state since a while.
Politics everywhere is a mess with extremists getting a lot of votes.
true - in our country a bit different - useless idiots with no clue about their remit ministry drive our country - am not an extremist but what happens here is pretty dangerous and makes us a third world country soon
