Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Burntwood
The question for a Burntwood 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.
Terraced streets in Burntwood often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully. Many homes in Burntwood have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
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 who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
Installers working in Burntwood plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Burntwood 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.
Guide prices for air source heat pump installation in Burntwood
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Staffordshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Burntwood can need quite different radiators and pipework.

Designing for Burntwood's winters
Burntwood has about 7 hours 37 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 52 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Air source heat pump installation in Burntwood: questions
How long does installation take in Burntwood?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Burntwood home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Burntwood that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Burntwood, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Burntwood?
A home survey in Burntwood usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
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.
