Octopus is handing thousands of customers £315 each in savings after they registered interest in a heat pump. Consumer interest in heat pumps from Octopus jumped by 144 per cent in 2024, the energy provider - which is rivalled by EDF, E ON, Octopus and OVO - said.

A record number of households are exploring cleaner home heating solutions. The UK heat pump industry hit a new record with almost 60,000 new installations in 2024 and Octopus is seeing heavy demand from its loyal consumers.

Thanks to the £7,500 grant from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), the costs of getting a heat pump are now on par with a new gas boiler. Heat pumps are also cheaper to run than gas boilers with dedicated smart tariffs. Octopus’ ‘Cosy Octopus’ can save heat pump customers £315 a year on heating costs compared to gas boiler customers on an SVT.
