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 Peckham 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Peckham
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.

Designing for Peckham's winters
On the shortest day Peckham 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 Peckham: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Peckham?
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.
How long does installation take in Peckham?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Peckham home states the expected time.
Do you cover Dulwich as well as Peckham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dulwich, which is about 2 miles south-west of Peckham, and across Greater London.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Peckham?
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 Peckham home gives a room-by-room list.
