If you heat your home with oil, you know how unpredictable it can feel. Prices move without warning, deliveries need planning, and a large tank takes up space outside. A Daikin heat pump gives you a cleaner, more efficient way to heat your home, with steadier running costs you can plan around.
Government funding can help with the upfront cost, and from 21 July 2026, eligible oil-heated homes can access up to £9,000 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. It's temporary, so it's worth checking your eligibility now.
Break free from rising oil prices
With an air-to-water heat pump, you can move away from unpredictable oil costs and enjoy a more efficient way to heat your home and water.
- Less exposure to changing oil prices
- No need for fuel deliveries or on-site storage
- One system for heating and hot water
Save over £1,200 a year
For a typical 4-bedroom home currently using oil, switching to a heat pump can reduce running costs by over £1,200 per year.
This reflects the difference between volatile oil prices and the higher efficiency of a heat pump, helping you reduce ongoing heating costs while maintaining comfort throughout your home.
Over time, these savings build, making a noticeable difference to your annual energy spend.
Payback in around 5 years
With lower running costs and available support, many homeowners see a payback period of around 5 years, depending on the property, insulation levels and system design.
This means your system can begin to pay for itself sooner than you might expect, while continuing to deliver savings over the long term.
Up to £9,000 available for eligible oil-heated homes + 0% VAT
