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 Altrincham quote.
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.

Designing for Altrincham's winters
Altrincham has about 7 hours 29 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 17 hours 01 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
Heat pumps in Altrincham: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Altrincham that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Altrincham, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Altrincham?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Altrincham home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does an Altrincham 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 Altrincham home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Altrincham?
A home survey in Altrincham 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.
