Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Selby
Every property in Selby 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.
Homeowners across North Yorkshire can arrange a survey in Selby for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. For older properties in Selby, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
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
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
Many homes in Selby 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 Selby 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.
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 Selby: questions
Do you cover Howden as well as Selby?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Howden, which is about 9 miles east of Selby, and across North Yorkshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Selby?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in North Yorkshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Selby?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Selby home states the expected time.
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.
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.
