Air source heat pump installation for Stratford-upon-Avon homes
Every property in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
Many homes in Stratford-upon-Avon have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. In Stratford-upon-Avon, 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
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
For older properties in Stratford-upon-Avon, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
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 Stratford-upon-Avon quote.
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 Stratford-upon-Avon: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Stratford-upon-Avon?
A home survey in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
How long does installation take in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stratford-upon-Avon home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Stratford-upon-Avon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stratford-upon-Avon, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
