Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Swindon 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Swindon
Guide prices for Swindon and the rest of Wiltshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

Short winter days in Swindon and what they mean
On the shortest day Swindon gets about 7 hours 49 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° 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 Swindon: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Swindon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Swindon, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Swindon 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 Swindon home.
Do you cover Marlborough as well as Swindon?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Marlborough, which is about 10 miles south of Swindon, and across Wiltshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Swindon?
A home survey in Swindon 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.
