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

These are guide prices for Greater London, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Short winter days in Greenwich and what they mean
On the shortest day Greenwich gets about 7 hours 50 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 Greenwich: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Greenwich?
A home survey in Greenwich usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Do you cover Blackheath as well as Greenwich?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Blackheath, which is about a mile south-east of Greenwich, and across Greater London.
Can you service a heat pump in Greenwich that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Greenwich, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Greenwich?
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 Greenwich home gives a room-by-room list.
