Air source heat pump installation in Long Eaton: what to expect
Every property in Long Eaton is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
In Long Eaton, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Installers working in Long Eaton 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
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it

- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
Homeowners across Derbyshire can arrange a survey in Long Eaton for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Long Eaton quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Winter daylight and heating in Long Eaton
Long Eaton has about 7 hours 35 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 55 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 Long Eaton: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Long Eaton?
A home survey in Long Eaton 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.
How soon can you survey a home in Long Eaton?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Derbyshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Ilkeston as well as Long Eaton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Ilkeston, which is about 5 miles north of Long Eaton, and across Derbyshire.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
