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 Windermere 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.

Designing for Windermere's winters
Windermere sees roughly 7 hours 18 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 14 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
Heat pumps in Windermere: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Windermere?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Cumbria. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Windermere 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 Windermere home.
Can you service a heat pump in Windermere that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Windermere, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Windermere?
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 Windermere home gives a room-by-room list.
