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 Lytham St Annes 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.

Heat pumps in Lytham St Annes: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Lytham St Annes?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Lytham St Annes home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Lytham St Annes that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Lytham St Annes, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Lytham St Annes 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 Lytham St Annes home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Lytham St Annes?
A home survey in Lytham St Annes 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.
