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 Swadlincote quote.
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.

On the shortest day Swadlincote gets about 7 hours 36 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° 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 Swadlincote: questions
Do you cover Ashby-de-la-Zouch as well as Swadlincote?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which is about 4 miles south-east of Swadlincote, and across Derbyshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Swadlincote?
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 installation take in Swadlincote?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Swadlincote home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Swadlincote 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 Swadlincote home.
