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

Short winter days in Cirencester and what they mean
Cirencester has about 7 hours 47 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 41 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
Heat pumps in Cirencester: questions
How long does installation take in Cirencester?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Cirencester home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Cirencester that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cirencester, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Cirencester?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gloucestershire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does a Cirencester 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 Cirencester home.
