Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
In Ashby-de-la-Zouch, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
For older properties in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Homeowners across Leicestershire can arrange a survey in Ashby-de-la-Zouch for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
Many homes in Ashby-de-la-Zouch 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
Homes in Ashby-de-la-Zouch 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 Ashby-de-la-Zouch: questions
Do you cover Coalville as well as Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Coalville, which is about 5 miles east of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and across Leicestershire.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
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 Ashby-de-la-Zouch home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does an Ashby-de-la-Zouch home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Ashby-de-la-Zouch home.
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.
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.
