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 Stroud 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.

Designing for Stroud's winters
Stroud 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 Stroud: questions
How long does installation take in Stroud?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stroud home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Stroud that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stroud, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Stroud?
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 Stroud 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 Stroud home.
