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 Amersham 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 Amersham's winters
On the shortest day Amersham gets about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 15° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Amersham: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Amersham that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Amersham, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
What size heat pump does an Amersham 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 Amersham home.
Do you cover Chesham as well as Amersham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Chesham, which is about 2 miles north of Amersham, and across Buckinghamshire.
How long does installation take in Amersham?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Amersham home states the expected time.
