Air source heat pump installation for Yarm homes
In Yarm, 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.
Homeowners across North Yorkshire can arrange a survey in Yarm for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. For older properties in Yarm, 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.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
Many homes in Yarm 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 Yarm 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 costs around Yarm
Guide prices for Yarm and the rest of North Yorkshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

Designing for Yarm's winters
On the shortest day Yarm gets only about 7 hours 16 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.
From survey to switch-on in Yarm
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Yarm home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Air source heat pump installation in Yarm: questions
What size heat pump does a Yarm 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 Yarm home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Yarm 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 Yarm home.
Can you service a heat pump in Yarm that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Yarm, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
