We cover 20 towns and cities in West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Wakefield. Every installation is designed from a room-by-room heat loss calculation, so the heat pump, radiators and cylinder are sized for the house rather than guessed.

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in West Yorkshire 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.

Questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Whether you need new radiators depends on each room's heat loss: some homes need a few larger radiators, while others can keep most of their existing ones. Heat pumps run most efficiently at low flow temperatures, around 35–50°C, so a radiator gives out less heat than it did with a boiler. The room-by-room heat loss calculation shows which rooms need a bigger radiator. A replacement radiator sized for a heat pump is a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site, longer if radiators or pipework are being changed. The work usually runs in stages: the outdoor unit and pipe runs, then the cylinder and indoor connections, then filling, commissioning and showing you the controls. Your heating and hot water are off for part of the work, and we agree the plan with you beforehand. Timings are typical rather than fixed. See how it works.
Can I have a heat pump in a flat or a small home?
Yes, many flats and small homes can have a heat pump, usually a smaller unit of around 4–5 kW. For a flat, the key questions are where the outdoor unit can go, such as a balcony, wall or yard, and whether the freeholder agrees. Flats may also need planning permission, depending on the rules in your nation, which we check at survey. In small homes the usual limit is cylinder space. Where a wet system will not fit, an air-to-air heat pump can heat individual rooms.
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
Air source heat pumps make some noise, mainly a low hum from the fan and compressor, but they are designed to run quietly. How noticeable it is depends on the model, how hard the unit is working and where it is sited. That is why siting matters and why the installation is checked with the MCS noise assessment for neighbouring homes. You may hear a little more for a few minutes during a defrost cycle in cold weather.
