What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Edgbaston
Homes around Edgbaston range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Flats in Edgbaston on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework. A survey in Edgbaston covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across the West Midlands.
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.
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
What's included
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
For terraced homes in Edgbaston, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room.
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 Edgbaston 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.
What to budget for air-to-air heat pumps in Edgbaston
Guide prices for Edgbaston and the rest of the West Midlands are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.
| 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.
Short winter days in Edgbaston and what they mean
Edgbaston has about 7 hours 40 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 49 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-to-air heat pumps in Edgbaston: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Edgbaston?
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 Edgbaston home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Edgbaston?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Edgbaston home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Edgbaston that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Edgbaston, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
