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 Prescot 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.

Designing for Prescot's winters
Prescot sees roughly 7 hours 29 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 01 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
Heat pumps in Prescot: questions
How long does installation take in Prescot?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Prescot home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Prescot home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Prescot home.
Do you cover Huyton as well as Prescot?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Huyton, which is about 2 miles south-west of Prescot, and across Merseyside.
How soon can you survey a home in Prescot?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Merseyside. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
