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 Burton upon Trent 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.

Heat pumps in Burton upon Trent: questions

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Burton upon Trent, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Burton upon Trent?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Burton upon Trent home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Burton upon Trent?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Staffordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does a Burton upon Trent home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Burton upon Trent home.
