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

Winter daylight and heating in Arundel
On the shortest day Arundel gets about 7 hours 56 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° 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 Arundel: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Arundel?
A home survey in Arundel 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 long does installation take in Arundel?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Arundel home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Arundel?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in West Sussex. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Arundel house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Arundel home.
