We cover Berkhamsted and nearby Tring, Hemel Hempstead and the rest of Hertfordshire. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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 Berkhamsted 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Berkhamsted

Heat pumps in Berkhamsted: questions

A home survey in Berkhamsted 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.
How soon can you survey a home in Berkhamsted?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Hertfordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Tring as well as Berkhamsted?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Tring, which is about 5 miles north-west of Berkhamsted, and across Hertfordshire.
How long does installation take in Berkhamsted?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Berkhamsted home states the expected time.
