What to know about air source heat pump installation in Heanor
A heat pump suits most Heanor homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
In Heanor, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Installers working in Heanor plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
Homeowners across Derbyshire can arrange a survey in Heanor for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Heanor can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

Short winter days in Heanor and what they mean
Heanor has about 7 hours 33 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 56 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Air source heat pump installation in Heanor: questions
How long does installation take in Heanor?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Heanor home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Heanor?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Derbyshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Heanor?
A home survey in Heanor usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
