Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Boston 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 Boston
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Lincolnshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Boston can need quite different radiators and pipework.

Short winter days in Boston and what they mean
Boston has about 7 hours 34 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 56 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
Heat pumps in Boston: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Boston that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Boston, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.

Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Lincolnshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Spalding as well as Boston?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Spalding, which is about 14 miles south of Boston, and across Lincolnshire.
