Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Highgate 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 Highgate?
On the shortest day Highgate gets about 7 hours 49 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 Highgate: questions
What size heat pump does a Highgate 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 Highgate home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Highgate?
A home survey in Highgate 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Highgate that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Highgate, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Crouch End as well as Highgate?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Crouch End, which is about a mile north-east of Highgate, and across Greater London.
