Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Flitwick 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Flitwick

Heat pumps in Flitwick: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Flitwick?
A home survey in Flitwick 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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Flitwick?
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 Flitwick home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Ampthill as well as Flitwick?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Ampthill, which is about 2 miles north of Flitwick, and across Bedfordshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Flitwick?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Bedfordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
