Coventry is in the West Midlands. Whether you are replacing a gas, oil or electric system, the design starts with measuring how much heat each room loses on a cold day, and survey arrangements for Coventry are confirmed when you enquire.

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 Coventry 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Coventry
These are guide prices for the West Midlands, 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.

Designing for Coventry's winters
On the shortest day Coventry gets about 7 hours 40 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
Heat pumps in Coventry: questions
What size heat pump does a Coventry 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 Coventry home.
Can you service a heat pump in Coventry that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Coventry, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Coventry?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Coventry home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Coventry?
A home survey in Coventry 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.
