Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Tenbury Wells 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.
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.
Heat pump guide prices in Tenbury Wells
These are guide prices for Worcestershire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Heat pumps in Tenbury Wells: questions
How long does installation take in Tenbury Wells?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Tenbury Wells home states the expected time.
Do you cover Ludlow as well as Tenbury Wells?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Ludlow, which is about 8 miles north-west of Tenbury Wells, and across Worcestershire.
What size heat pump does a Tenbury Wells 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 Tenbury Wells home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tenbury Wells 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 Tenbury Wells home.
