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 Crowthorne 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Crowthorne
These are guide prices for Berkshire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

| 1–2 bedroom flat or small terrace | 4–5 kW | £10,050–£13,250 | £2,550–£5,750 |

Designing for Crowthorne's winters
On the shortest day Crowthorne gets about 7 hours 51 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.
Heat pumps in Crowthorne: questions
Do you cover Sandhurst as well as Crowthorne?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Sandhurst, which is about 2 miles south of Crowthorne, and across Berkshire.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Crowthorne?
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 Crowthorne home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Crowthorne 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 Crowthorne home.
Can you service a heat pump in Crowthorne that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Crowthorne, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
