Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Oundle can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
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.

Designing for Oundle's winters
Oundle has about 7 hours 39 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 50 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 Oundle: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Oundle?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Northamptonshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Corby as well as Oundle?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Corby, which is about 9 miles west of Oundle, and across Northamptonshire.
How long does installation take in Oundle?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Oundle home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Oundle house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Oundle home.
