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

How long is the heating season in Hammersmith?
Hammersmith 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 Hammersmith: questions
Do you cover Notting Hill as well as Hammersmith?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Notting Hill, which is about a mile north-east of Hammersmith, and across Greater London.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Hammersmith 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 Hammersmith home.
How long does installation take in Hammersmith?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Hammersmith home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Hammersmith?
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 Hammersmith home gives a room-by-room list.
