We cover Arnold and nearby Nottingham, Hucknall and the rest of Nottinghamshire. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Arnold 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Arnold
These are guide prices for Nottinghamshire, 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.

Short winter days in Arnold and what they mean
On the shortest day Arnold gets about 7 hours 34 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Arnold: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Arnold 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 Arnold home.
Do you cover Nottingham as well as Arnold?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Nottingham, which is about 3 miles south of Arnold, and across Nottinghamshire.
How long does installation take in Arnold?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Arnold home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Arnold?
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 Arnold home gives a room-by-room list.
