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 Battersea 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 Battersea?
Battersea sees roughly 7 hours 50 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 38 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 Battersea: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Battersea?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Greater London. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Battersea that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Battersea, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Battersea 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 Battersea home.
How long does installation take in Battersea?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Battersea home states the expected time.
