Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Eastleigh 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Eastleigh
Guide prices for Eastleigh and the rest of Hampshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

Designing for Eastleigh's winters
On the shortest day Eastleigh gets about 7 hours 55 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° 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 Eastleigh: questions
How long does installation take in Eastleigh?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Eastleigh home states the expected time.
Do you cover Southampton as well as Eastleigh?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Southampton, which is about 5 miles south-west of Eastleigh, and across Hampshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Eastleigh?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Hampshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does an Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh home.
