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 Frodsham quote.
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.

How long is the heating season in Frodsham?
On the shortest day Frodsham gets about 7 hours 30 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 13° 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 Frodsham: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Frodsham that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Frodsham, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Frodsham?
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 Frodsham home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Frodsham 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 Frodsham home.
How long does installation take in Frodsham?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Frodsham home states the expected time.
