Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Crowborough 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.
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.

Short winter days in Crowborough and what they mean
On the shortest day Crowborough gets about 7 hours 54 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.
Heat pumps in Crowborough: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Crowborough?
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 Crowborough home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Crowborough that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Crowborough, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Crowborough?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Crowborough home states the expected time.
Do you cover Uckfield as well as Crowborough?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Uckfield, which is about 7 miles south-west of Crowborough, and across East Sussex.
