Our coverage in Gloucestershire runs from Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood and the villages around them. The approach is the same everywhere: survey, design, a written quote, then installation by installers working under our contract.

Heat pump services in Gloucestershire
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 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.

Questions
Who is eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
You are usually eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme if you own an existing home in England or Wales, including as a landlord, and are replacing fossil-fuel or electric heating. The new system must meet the home's full heating and hot water needs. Most new builds, social housing, homes already funded for a heat pump and hybrid systems are not eligible. Air-to-air heat pumps in homes can get a separate £2,500 grant from 28 April 2026. We check eligibility at survey.
How do heat pump repairs work, and what do they cost?
Heat pump repairs start with a fault-finding visit, charged at a rate agreed before we attend; as a guide price, the first hour is £90–£180, including VAT. The engineer diagnoses the fault and gives you a price for the repair before any further work. Typical repairs, from sensors and valves to fans, pumps and control boards, have a guide price range of £90–£1,100, including VAT, depending on the part. See heat pump repairs.
How much does an air source heat pump cost to install?
A full air source heat pump system typically costs £9,500–£12,500 for a one- or two-bedroom flat or small terrace, £12,000–£15,500 for a three-bedroom semi and £16,500–£22,500 for a larger or older home with five or more bedrooms. These are guide prices, installed and including VAT. Grants can reduce the cost, depending on which UK nation you live in. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the free home survey. See all guide prices.
Is the home survey free?
Yes, the home survey and heat loss calculation are free when you are enquiring about an installation. If you only want a heat loss survey and report, for example to plan a renovation, a stand-alone survey is a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. Repairs work differently: a fault-finding visit is charged at a rate agreed before we attend, and servicing is a paid visit.
