Air source heat pump installation in Yeadon: what to expect
A heat pump suits most Yeadon homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Homeowners across West Yorkshire can arrange a survey in Yeadon for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Many homes in Yeadon 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
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
In Yeadon, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Yeadon 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 Yeadon?
On the shortest day Yeadon gets only about 7 hours 24 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 13° 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.

- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Air source heat pump installation in Yeadon: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Yeadon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Yeadon, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Yeadon?
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 Yeadon home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Yeadon 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 Yeadon home.
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.
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.
