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 Swaffham quote.
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.

These are guide prices for Norfolk, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

How long is the heating season in Swaffham?
Swaffham has about 7 hours 37 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 52 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 Swaffham: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Swaffham?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Norfolk. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Swaffham?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Swaffham home states the expected time.
Do you cover Dereham as well as Swaffham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dereham, which is about 11 miles east of Swaffham, and across Norfolk.
What size heat pump does a Swaffham 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 Swaffham home.
