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 Thetford 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.

Short winter days in Thetford and what they mean
Thetford has about 7 hours 40 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 49 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 Thetford: questions
How long does installation take in Thetford?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Thetford home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Thetford?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Thetford home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Bury St Edmunds as well as Thetford?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bury St Edmunds, which is about 12 miles south of Thetford, and across Norfolk.
Can you service a heat pump in Thetford that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Thetford, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
