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 Oxted 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.

Short winter days in Oxted and what they mean
Oxted sees roughly 7 hours 52 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 36 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.
Heat pumps in Oxted: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Oxted?
A home survey in Oxted 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Oxted that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Oxted, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Oxted?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Surrey. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does an Oxted 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 Oxted home.
