Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Lichfield 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Lichfield
These are guide prices for Staffordshire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Short winter days in Lichfield and what they mean
Lichfield has about 7 hours 37 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 52 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 Lichfield: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Lichfield?
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 Lichfield home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Lichfield?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Staffordshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Burntwood as well as Lichfield?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Burntwood, which is about 4 miles west of Lichfield, and across Staffordshire.
What size heat pump does a Lichfield 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 Lichfield home.
