It seems as though Octopus Energy & British Gas are entering a price war for ASHP installs. Given that a typical house ASHP install costs around £8 - £10k from what I would call a 'standard' installer, the prices that these two big companies are quoting could be seen as a race to the bottom. However, Octopus Energy last year bought the Renewable Energy Devices company in NI, and are now it seems making their own cheap product. At least, I'm guessing that's the case, or they're importing a cheap Chinese one for their installs.
