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

Winter daylight and heating in Ilkeston
Ilkeston has about 7 hours 34 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 56 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
Heat pumps in Ilkeston: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Ilkeston?
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 Ilkeston home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Ilkeston?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Derbyshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Ilkeston that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ilkeston, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Ilkeston?
A home survey in Ilkeston 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.
