We cover 17 towns and cities in Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Yeovil. Every installation is designed from a room-by-room heat loss calculation, so the heat pump, radiators and cylinder are sized for the house rather than guessed.

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 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.

Questions
What if my home is listed or in a conservation area?
If your home is listed, you will usually need listed building consent before fitting a heat pump, because the work can affect the building's character. In a conservation area, some positions, especially those facing a road, may need planning permission, depending on the rules in your nation. We check what applies at survey and suggest positions that keep the outdoor unit and pipework discreet. Older and protected homes can still suit a carefully designed heat pump.
Should I leave my heat pump running all the time?
Usually yes: a heat pump works most efficiently running steadily at a low flow temperature, rather than switching on and off like many boilers. Weather compensation controls adjust the flow temperature to the weather outside, so the system keeps rooms comfortable using less energy. You can still lower temperatures overnight or when you are away, but large set-backs make the heat pump work harder to recover. We set up the controls and show you how they work.
How quickly will you reply to my enquiry?
We aim to reply promptly during working hours to every enquiry. For an installation, the first step is usually a short conversation about your home, followed by arranging the free home survey. For a repair, tell us the make and model, any error code and what the system is doing, so we can agree a fault-finding rate before we attend. You can reach us through the contact page.
Who is eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
You are usually eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme if you own an existing home in England or Wales, including as a landlord, and are replacing fossil-fuel or electric heating. The new system must meet the home's full heating and hot water needs. Most new builds, social housing, homes already funded for a heat pump and hybrid systems are not eligible. Air-to-air heat pumps in homes can get a separate £2,500 grant from 28 April 2026. We check eligibility at survey.
