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 Matlock 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 Matlock's winters
On the shortest day Matlock gets about 7 hours 32 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 Matlock: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Matlock?
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 Matlock home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Matlock that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Matlock, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Matlock?
A home survey in Matlock 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.
How soon can you survey a home in Matlock?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Derbyshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
