Air source heat pump installation for Morecambe homes
The question for a Morecambe home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
In Morecambe, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Terraced streets in Morecambe often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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.
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What's included
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
Installers working in Morecambe plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Morecambe 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.
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.

Air source heat pump installation in Morecambe: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Morecambe that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Morecambe, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Morecambe?
A home survey in Morecambe 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 in Morecambe?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Morecambe home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
