Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Godalming 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 Godalming
These are guide prices for Surrey, 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Godalming
On the shortest day Godalming gets about 7 hours 53 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.
Heat pumps in Godalming: questions
What size heat pump does a Godalming 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 Godalming home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Godalming?
A home survey in Godalming usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
How soon can you survey a home in Godalming?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Surrey. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Godalming?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Godalming home states the expected time.
