Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Long Eaton 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.

Short winter days in Long Eaton and what they mean
Long Eaton has about 7 hours 35 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 55 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 Long Eaton: questions
What size heat pump does a Long Eaton 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 Long Eaton home.
Do you cover Ilkeston as well as Long Eaton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Ilkeston, which is about 5 miles north of Long Eaton, and across Derbyshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Long Eaton?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Derbyshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Long Eaton?
A home survey in Long Eaton 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.
