Before you book: air source heat pump installation in North Walsham
Homes around North Walsham range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Many homes in North Walsham have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. In North Walsham, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- 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
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
Terraced streets in North Walsham often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in North Walsham 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 North Walsham: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a North Walsham house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your North Walsham home.
What size heat pump does a North Walsham 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 North Walsham home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in North Walsham?
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 North Walsham 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.
