Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Greater Manchester 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.

Questions
How do heat pump repairs work, and what do they cost?
Heat pump repairs start with a fault-finding visit, charged at a rate agreed before we attend; as a guide price, the first hour is £90–£180, including VAT. The engineer diagnoses the fault and gives you a price for the repair before any further work. Typical repairs, from sensors and valves to fans, pumps and control boards, have a guide price range of £90–£1,100, including VAT, depending on the part. See heat pump repairs.
What warranty comes with a heat pump?
A new heat pump comes with a manufacturer warranty, which passes to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Our workmanship guarantee is set out in writing in your quote. Manufacturer warranties usually depend on the system being registered and serviced as the manufacturer requires, so keep your handover pack, MCS certificate and service records together. We explain the warranty conditions for your chosen unit before you accept the quote.
How quickly will you reply to my enquiry?
We aim to reply promptly during working hours to every enquiry. For an installation, the first step is usually a short conversation about your home, followed by arranging the free home survey. For a repair, tell us the make and model, any error code and what the system is doing, so we can agree a fault-finding rate before we attend. You can reach us through the contact page.
Who is eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
You are usually eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme if you own an existing home in England or Wales, including as a landlord, and are replacing fossil-fuel or electric heating. The new system must meet the home's full heating and hot water needs. Most new builds, social housing, homes already funded for a heat pump and hybrid systems are not eligible. Air-to-air heat pumps in homes can get a separate £2,500 grant from 28 April 2026. We check eligibility at survey.
