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 Emsworth 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 Emsworth and what they mean
Emsworth sees roughly 7 hours 56 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 31 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 Emsworth: questions
Do you cover Havant as well as Emsworth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Havant, which is about 2 miles west of Emsworth, and across West Sussex.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Emsworth 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 Emsworth home.
What size heat pump does an Emsworth 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 Emsworth home.
Can you service a heat pump in Emsworth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Emsworth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
