What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Royal Leamington Spa
The question for a Royal Leamington Spa home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
For terraced homes in Royal Leamington Spa, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Flats in Royal Leamington Spa 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.
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
What's included
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
A survey in Royal Leamington Spa covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Warwickshire.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Royal Leamington Spa 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.
Air-to-air heat pumps prices in Royal Leamington Spa
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Warwickshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Royal Leamington Spa can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| System | Installed guide price |
|---|---|
| Air-to-air heat pump, 1–2 rooms | £2,400–£5,000 |
| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £4,000–£8,000 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £2,500 towards an air-to-air system in a home, deducted from your quote where eligible.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Royal Leamington Spa: questions
How long does installation take in Royal Leamington Spa?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Royal Leamington Spa home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Royal Leamington Spa?
A home survey in Royal Leamington Spa 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Royal Leamington Spa that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Royal Leamington Spa, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Is there a grant for air-to-air heat pumps?
In England and Wales, yes: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes a grant of £2,500 for air-to-air heat pumps in homes, from 28 April 2026. The MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem and deducts it from your quote, subject to the scheme's conditions. The scheme does not cover Scotland or Northern Ireland; in Scotland, Home Energy Scotland has its own rules.
Can air-to-air heat pumps cool as well as heat?
Yes. Most air-to-air systems can reverse their cycle to cool and dehumidify rooms in summer, which makes them useful for loft rooms, south-facing extensions and home offices that overheat. Cooling uses electricity, so running costs rise if it is used heavily. You control heating and cooling for each room separately.
