Because every building differs, commercial work is priced after a site survey rather than from a guide price. We plan the installation around your operation, including phased or out-of-hours working where the building must stay open. Funding for non-domestic buildings depends on the building, its size and the nation it is in, so we check what, if anything, applies at survey.
For blocks of flats in Worcestershire, we assess whether individual units or a communal system suits the building and how it is managed. Offices and shops in Worcestershire with a flat roof or rear yard often have space for outdoor plant, checked for structure and access. Landlords and managing agents in Worcestershire can phase the work to keep tenants and staff comfortable during the switchover.
Who it suits
- Premises that also want cooling in some areas
- Buildings with roof or yard space for outdoor plant
- Landlords and managing agents planning low-carbon upgrades
- Blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation needing shared or per-flat systems
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 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.

Commercial heat pump installation questions
Are there grants for commercial heat pumps?
It depends on the building, its size and use, who owns it and which nation it is in, and the rules differ from those for homes. We check at survey whether any scheme applies to your building in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, and we do not include a grant in the quote unless eligibility has been confirmed.
How much does a commercial heat pump cost?
Commercial heat pumps are priced after a site survey, because cost depends on the building's heat load, the number and size of units, where the plant goes, access, and any changes to the heating system inside. We then give a written quote setting out the equipment, the programme and what is included. There is no reliable guide price for commercial work without seeing the building.
Can heat pumps go on a flat roof?
Yes, flat roofs are a common position for commercial plant. The roof needs a structural check for the weight of the units and their frames, and the installation usually needs a lifting plan, anti-vibration mounts, drainage for defrost water and safe access for maintenance. Pipe and cable routes from the roof into the building are planned at survey.
Can you install without closing the business?
Usually, yes. Outdoor plant, pipework and controls can often be installed while the existing heating still runs, with the switchover planned for a short window, such as a weekend or a quieter time of year. Work inside occupied areas can be phased. The programme in your quote sets out what happens when, so you can plan staff and customers around it.
