Our coverage in Staffordshire runs from Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Burton upon Trent and Cannock and the villages around them. The approach is the same everywhere: survey, design, a written quote, then installation by installers working under our contract.

Heat pump services in Staffordshire
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Staffordshire 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.

Questions
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole of the UK: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Installations on the Scottish islands and in other remote areas are by arrangement, as travel and access can affect timing and price. Grants, VAT and planning rules differ between nations, so your quote reflects where you live. Enter your postcode on our quote page or browse the areas we cover.
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.
Does my home need to be well insulated before I get a heat pump?
Your home does not need to be perfectly insulated, but insulation affects the size of heat pump you need and how much it costs to run. A room-by-room heat loss calculation shows where heat escapes, and the system is sized to match. Simple measures such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and draught-proofing can lower heat loss. We point out worthwhile improvements at survey, so you can decide whether to do them first.
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
Air source heat pumps make some noise, mainly a low hum from the fan and compressor, but they are designed to run quietly. How noticeable it is depends on the model, how hard the unit is working and where it is sited. That is why siting matters and why the installation is checked with the MCS noise assessment for neighbouring homes. You may hear a little more for a few minutes during a defrost cycle in cold weather.
