We cover Wisbech and nearby March, King's Lynn and the rest of Cambridgeshire. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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

Short winter days in Wisbech and what they mean

Heat pumps in Wisbech: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Wisbech 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 Wisbech home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Wisbech?
A home survey in Wisbech 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 March as well as Wisbech?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in March, which is about 8 miles south of Wisbech, and across Cambridgeshire.
How long does installation take in Wisbech?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Wisbech home states the expected time.
