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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent's winters
Stoke-on-Trent has about 7 hours 34 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 56 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 Stoke-on-Trent: questions
How long does installation take in Stoke-on-Trent?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stoke-on-Trent home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent home.
How soon can you survey a home in Stoke-on-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 Stoke-on-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 Stoke-on-Trent home.
