Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Poulton-le-Fylde
The question for a Poulton-le-Fylde 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.
Homeowners across Lancashire can arrange a survey in Poulton-le-Fylde for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Installers working in Poulton-le-Fylde 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.
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
Many homes in Poulton-le-Fylde have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
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 Poulton-le-Fylde quote.
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.

Air source heat pump installation in Poulton-le-Fylde: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Poulton-le-Fylde that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Poulton-le-Fylde, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Poulton-le-Fylde?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Lancashire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Blackpool as well as Poulton-le-Fylde?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Blackpool, which is about 3 miles south-west of Poulton-le-Fylde, and across Lancashire.
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.
What grants can I get for a heat pump?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, which the installer claims and deducts from your quote. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, but you need a written funding offer before work starts. Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner heat pump grant at present.
