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

Winter daylight and heating in Wilmslow
On the shortest day Wilmslow 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 Wilmslow: questions
Do you cover Alderley Edge as well as Wilmslow?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Alderley Edge, which is about 2 miles south of Wilmslow, and across Cheshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Wilmslow?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Cheshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does a Wilmslow 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 Wilmslow home.
How long does installation take in Wilmslow?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Wilmslow home states the expected time.
