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 Stamford 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Stamford
On the shortest day Stamford gets about 7 hours 37 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Stamford: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Stamford?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Lincolnshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Stamford 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 Stamford home.
Do you cover Bourne as well as Stamford?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bourne, which is about 9 miles north-east of Stamford, and across Lincolnshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Stamford that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stamford, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
