We cover Edgbaston and nearby Harborne, Birmingham and the rest of the West Midlands. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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 Edgbaston quote.
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.

Designing for Edgbaston's winters
On the shortest day Edgbaston 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 Edgbaston: questions
Do you cover Harborne as well as Edgbaston?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Harborne, which is about a mile west of Edgbaston, and across the West Midlands.
How soon can you survey a home in Edgbaston?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in the West Midlands. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Edgbaston?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Edgbaston home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does an Edgbaston 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 Edgbaston home.
