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 Shrewsbury 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.

Designing for Shrewsbury's winters
On the shortest day Shrewsbury gets about 7 hours 37 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 Shrewsbury: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Shrewsbury?
A home survey in Shrewsbury 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.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury home.
How long does installation take in Shrewsbury?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Shrewsbury home states the expected time.
Do you cover Church Stretton as well as Shrewsbury?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Church Stretton, which is about 12 miles south of Shrewsbury, and across Shropshire.
