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 Dartmouth 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Dartmouth
These are guide prices for Devon, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

How long is the heating season in Dartmouth?
Dartmouth sees roughly 8 hours 01 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 26 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.
Heat pumps in Dartmouth: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Dartmouth?
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 Dartmouth home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Dartmouth?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Devon. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does a Dartmouth 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 Dartmouth home.
Do you cover Paignton as well as Dartmouth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Paignton, which is about 6 miles north of Dartmouth, and across Devon.
