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 Bradford 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.

Heat pumps in Bradford: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bradford?
A home survey in Bradford 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Bradford that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bradford, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Bradford?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bradford home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bradford 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 Bradford home.
