What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Tiverton
In Tiverton, 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.
For terraced homes in Tiverton, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Flats in Tiverton on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
Extensions and garden rooms in Tiverton that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit.
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 Tiverton quote.
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.

Short winter days in Tiverton and what they mean
On the shortest day Tiverton gets about 7 hours 56 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Air-to-air heat pumps in Tiverton: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Tiverton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tiverton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Crediton as well as Tiverton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Crediton, which is about 11 miles south-west of Tiverton, and across Devon.
How soon can you survey a home in Tiverton?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Devon. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can an air-to-air heat pump heat my water?
No. An air-to-air heat pump heats and cools the air in rooms but does not produce hot water. You need a separate source, such as an existing immersion cylinder, a hot water heat pump or an electric water heater. If you want one system for heating and hot water, an air-to-water heat pump with a cylinder is the alternative.
Are air-to-air heat pumps suitable for flats?
Often, yes. They need no radiators, pipework or cylinder, so they suit flats heated by storage or panel heaters. You need a position for the outdoor unit, such as a balcony, wall bracket or ground-floor yard, and leaseholders normally need the freeholder's or management company's consent. Planning rules for flats differ by nation, so we check what applies at survey.
