What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Stourbridge
Every property in Stourbridge is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Flats in Stourbridge on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework. Extensions and garden rooms in Stourbridge that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit.
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.
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
What's included
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
For terraced homes in Stourbridge, 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 Stourbridge 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.

Short winter days in Stourbridge and what they mean
Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Stourbridge house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Stourbridge home.
Can you service a heat pump in Stourbridge that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stourbridge, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Stourbridge?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in the West Midlands. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
