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 Thornaby-on-Tees 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.

Heat pumps in Thornaby-on-Tees: questions
How long does installation take in Thornaby-on-Tees?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Thornaby-on-Tees home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Thornaby-on-Tees 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 Thornaby-on-Tees home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Thornaby-on-Tees?
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 Thornaby-on-Tees home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Thornaby-on-Tees?
A home survey in Thornaby-on-Tees usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
