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 Nantwich 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 Nantwich
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Cheshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Nantwich can need quite different radiators and pipework.

Short winter days in Nantwich and what they mean
On the shortest day Nantwich gets about 7 hours 33 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 Nantwich: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Nantwich 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 Nantwich home.
What size heat pump does a Nantwich 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 Nantwich home.
Do you cover Crewe as well as Nantwich?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Crewe, which is about 4 miles north-east of Nantwich, and across Cheshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Nantwich that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Nantwich, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
