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 Bracknell 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.

Designing for Bracknell's winters
Bracknell sees roughly 7 hours 50 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 37 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.
Heat pumps in Bracknell: questions
What size heat pump does a Bracknell home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Bracknell home.
How soon can you survey a home in Bracknell?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Berkshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bracknell 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 Bracknell home.
Do you cover Crowthorne as well as Bracknell?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Crowthorne, which is about 3 miles south-west of Bracknell, and across Berkshire.
