We cover Warminster and nearby Trowbridge, Frome and the rest of Wiltshire. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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 Warminster 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.

Designing for Warminster's winters
Warminster sees roughly 7 hours 53 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 35 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 Warminster: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Warminster?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Warminster home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Warminster 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 Warminster home.
How soon can you survey a home in Warminster?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Wiltshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Trowbridge as well as Warminster?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Trowbridge, which is about 8 miles north of Warminster, and across Wiltshire.
