We cover Nottingham and nearby Arnold, 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
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 Nottingham 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.

How long is the heating season in Nottingham?
Nottingham has about 7 hours 34 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 55 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 Nottingham: questions
Do you cover Arnold as well as Nottingham?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Arnold, which is about 3 miles north of Nottingham, and across Nottinghamshire.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Nottingham 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 Nottingham home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Nottingham?
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 Nottingham home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Nottingham?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Nottinghamshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
