Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Lincolnshire 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.

Questions
Can a heat pump heat an older home?
Yes, a heat pump can usually heat an older home well when it is sized from an accurate heat loss calculation and the radiators are matched to a lower flow temperature. Solid walls, high ceilings and draughty windows raise heat loss, so older homes often need a larger unit or some bigger radiators. Where radiators cannot easily change, a high-temperature unit is an option, typically £1,500–£3,000 extra as a guide price, installed and including VAT. Read heat pumps in older homes.
Where will the outdoor unit go?
The outdoor unit goes where it has free airflow, a solid base or wall brackets, a short pipe run to the house and somewhere for condensate water to drain. A typical unit is roughly 1 m wide. We also keep it away from neighbours' windows where possible, because siting and the MCS noise check both matter. Common positions are a side wall, back garden or yard, and we agree the spot with you at survey. See noise and siting.
How quickly will you reply to my enquiry?
We aim to reply promptly during working hours to every enquiry. For an installation, the first step is usually a short conversation about your home, followed by arranging the free home survey. For a repair, tell us the make and model, any error code and what the system is doing, so we can agree a fault-finding rate before we attend. You can reach us through the contact page.
What heat pump grants can I get, and does it depend on where I live?
The grant you can get depends on which UK nation you live in. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, or £9,000 when it replaces oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan. Northern Ireland has no dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners at present. See heat pump grants.
