Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Wallsend 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.
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.

How long is the heating season in Wallsend?
On the shortest day Wallsend gets only about 7 hours 10 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.
Heat pumps in Wallsend: questions
What size heat pump does a Wallsend 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 Wallsend home.
How soon can you survey a home in Wallsend?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Tyne and Wear. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Wallsend?
A home survey in Wallsend 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 Wallsend that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Wallsend, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
