Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Droitwich Spa
A heat pump suits most Droitwich Spa homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Homeowners across Worcestershire can arrange a survey in Droitwich Spa for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. In Droitwich Spa, 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.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- 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
For older properties in Droitwich Spa, 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 Droitwich Spa 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 Droitwich Spa: questions
Do you cover Bromsgrove as well as Droitwich Spa?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bromsgrove, which is about 6 miles north-east of Droitwich Spa, and across Worcestershire.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Droitwich Spa?
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 Droitwich Spa home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Droitwich Spa?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Droitwich Spa home states the expected time.
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.
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.
