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 Bridport 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.

How long is the heating season in Bridport?
Bridport sees roughly 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 30 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 Bridport: questions
Do you cover Dorchester as well as Bridport?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dorchester, which is about 14 miles east of Bridport, and across Dorset.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Bridport?
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 Bridport home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Bridport?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Dorset. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bridport 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 Bridport home.
