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 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.

Questions
How do I pay for my heat pump installation?
How and when you pay is set out in your written quote, so you know the full price and any payment stages before you agree to anything. Nothing is ordered until you accept the quote. Where a grant applies, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in England and Wales, it is deducted from the price shown. If you have questions about payment, ask at the survey and we will explain how it works for your job.
Will an air source heat pump work in my home?
Most UK homes can use an air source heat pump, as long as there is space outside for the unit, room inside for a hot water cylinder and heating that can work at lower temperatures. Houses, bungalows, cottages and many flats are all possible. What decides the design is your home's heat loss, which we measure room by room at the free home survey. If a heat pump is not a good fit, we tell you and explain why.
How much does a heat pump cost to run compared with gas?
Running costs depend mostly on the system's seasonal efficiency (SCOP) and your tariff. Under the Ofgem price cap for October to December 2026 (Great Britain average), a heat pump with a SCOP of 3.0 delivers heat for about 8.8p per kWh, and at SCOP 3.5 about 7.5p, against about 8.9p from a 90% efficient gas boiler. At SCOP 3.0 that is roughly level with gas; a well-designed system with a higher SCOP, or a heat pump tariff, can bring it lower. If nothing else in the home uses gas, removing the meter also ends the gas standing charge, about £108 a year.
Does my electricity network operator need to know about a heat pump?
Your installer notifies the electricity network operator about your heat pump where this is required, so you do not need to arrange it yourself. The network operator runs the cables and substations that supply your home, and the notification lets it confirm the local supply can handle the added load. We check your incoming supply and main fuse at survey and explain anything that affects the installation before work starts.
