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 Bishopston 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.

Short winter days in Bishopston and what they mean
On the shortest day Bishopston gets about 7 hours 50 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 Bishopston: questions
What size heat pump does a Bishopston 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 Bishopston home.
How long does installation take in Bishopston?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bishopston home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bishopston?
A home survey in Bishopston 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 you cover Westbury-on-Trym as well as Bishopston?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Westbury-on-Trym, which is about a mile north-west of Bishopston, and across Bristol.
