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

Winter daylight and heating in Tooting
On the shortest day Tooting 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 Tooting: questions
How long does installation take in Tooting?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Tooting home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Tooting?
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.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tooting 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 Tooting home.
Can you service a heat pump in Tooting that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tooting, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
