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

Heat pumps in Hayle: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Hayle?
A home survey in Hayle 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 I need new radiators for a heat pump in Hayle?
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 Hayle home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Camborne as well as Hayle?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Camborne, which is about 6 miles east of Hayle, and across Cornwall.
Can you service a heat pump in Hayle that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Hayle, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
