Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Willenhall
Homes around Willenhall range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Many homes in Willenhall have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. Installers working in Willenhall plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
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
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
Homeowners across the West Midlands can arrange a survey in Willenhall for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Willenhall 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.
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.

How long is the heating season in Willenhall?
Willenhall has about 7 hours 38 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 51 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 Willenhall: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Willenhall?
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 Willenhall home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Willenhall 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 Willenhall home.
Do you cover Bilston as well as Willenhall?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bilston, which is about a mile south of Willenhall, and across the West Midlands.
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.
