Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Kidsgrove
In Kidsgrove, 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.
Installers working in Kidsgrove plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. For older properties in Kidsgrove, 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.
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
Homeowners across Staffordshire can arrange a survey in Kidsgrove for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Kidsgrove 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.

How long is the heating season in Kidsgrove?

Air source heat pump installation in Kidsgrove: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Kidsgrove that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Kidsgrove, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Kidsgrove?
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 Kidsgrove home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Kidsgrove?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Staffordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
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.
