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 Hyde 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.

Designing for Hyde's winters
Hyde sees roughly 7 hours 29 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 02 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
Heat pumps in Hyde: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Hyde that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Hyde, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Hyde?
A home survey in Hyde 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.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Hyde 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 Hyde home.
What size heat pump does a Hyde 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 Hyde home.
