Save £1,500 on a heat pump replacement
A heat pump replacement may be needed once your system can no longer operate at peak efficiency. Long-term data from Europe shows that ground source heat pumps are typically replaced after around 21 years of operation. The best way to extend the life of your system is through regular servicing, which helps prevent issues from developing into costly breakdowns.
When the time does come, Alto Energy offers a range of options for heat pump replacements. With our large UK-based stockholding available for next day delivery, and a nationwide network of partner installers, we can get your new heat pump up and running in no time.
Furthermore, for existing Alto Energy customers (i.e. we have been regularly servicing your existing heat pump), we offer an exclusive £1,500 discount off the cost of a new heat pump to replace your old one. We will also collect and recycle your old heat pump, as well as providing your first service free of charge (*terms and conditions apply).

REPLACEMENT GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP
If you need a replacement ground source heat pump, the great news is that your existing ground collector array can almost certainly be re-used with a new ground source heat pump. Furthermore, you can often retain your existing hot water cylinder and other existing plant, so long as these remain in good working order.
If you have an existing IVT Greenline ground source heat pump that requires replacement, please get in touch today. Replacing a ground source heat pump is often more affordable than you think.
REPLACEMENT AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP
If you need a replacement air source heat pump, this is usually extremely straightforward. Providing everything else has been working to your satisfaction, the existing hot water cylinder and central heating distribution system can all be retained and re-used with your new air source heat pump system.
If you have an existing air source heat pump that requires replacement, please get in touch today. Alto Energy holds stock of a number of major air source heat pump brands like Mitsubishi, Samsung and Bosch, meaning that a replacement air source heat pump can usually be organised very quickly.
CONVERTING FROM GROUND SOURCE TO AIR SOURCE
Whether it’s due to a damaged or badly contaminated ground loop, or perhaps you’re looking to sell off the land containing the ground collector array, for a variety of different reasons it is sometimes necessary to replace an existing ground source heat pump with a new air source heat pump.
If you have an existing ground source heat pump and you wish to explore converting to an air source heat pump system, then please get in touch with your technical team today.
WHY CHOOSE TO UPGRADE YOUR HEAT PUMP?
-
By upgrading to the latest generation of heat pump, you get all the benefits of the latest technological advancements. Featuring low-energy circulation pumps and easily capable of achieving flow temperatures up to 65°C, our current range of heat pumps perform better than any that have come before.
-
Every heat pump supplied and commissioned by Alto Energy comes with a genuine parts and labour warranty. Our coverage includes:
Ground Source Heat Pumps: 5-year parts and labour warranty
Air Source Heat Pumps: 7-year parts and labour warranty
-
Installing a new heat pump attracts zero-rated VAT, meaning you don’t pay any VAT whatsoever on the supply, installation, and commissioning of a replacement heat pump. This is in contrast to the standard 20% VAT rate that applies to repair work. This represents a significant saving, and is an important consideration when deciding between repairing or replacing your heat pump.
-
Through our network of approved installation partners, Alto Energy will organise the delivery of your new heat pump, the disconnection and collection of your old heat pump, and installation of your new heat pump onto the existing connections. If you are looking at making alterations to the existing ground loop or distribution system, this is possible; however, we recommend contacting us early to discuss your plans.
-
Anyone who takes up our heat pump recycling scheme offer will also get their first year service free of charge. To claim this, you will need to sign up to one of our heat pump service plans. For customers already on a service plan, you won’t need to do anything; your direct debit will simply be paused for 12 months before resuming again after the free service has been completed.
Frequently Asked Questions About our heat pump replacement services
Can you replace just the heat pump?
Yes, in most cases you can. With a ground source system, the underground pipes usually stay in place and can be re-used. With an air source system, the hot water tank and radiators are often fine to keep as well.
How much does it cost to replace a heat pump system?
The price depends on your home and the type of system you need. Because much of your existing kit can be re-used, replacement is often cheaper than you might expect. We can give you a clear idea of costs for your property.
Can I replace my ground source heat pump with an air source heat pump?
Yes, you can. This is sometimes done if the ground loop is damaged or if the land is being sold. An air source heat pump can usually work with your current heating and hot water system.
Can I get a heat pump replacement using BUS scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme helps households switch from fossil fuel or direct electric heating to a heat pump. It isn’t available if you are simply replacing an old heat pump. If you currently use oil, gas, LPG or electric heating, you may be able to claim a grant towards the cost of installing a new system.
