What to know about replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in Pershore
Every property in Pershore is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Many gas-heated homes in Pershore have a combi boiler in the kitchen, so the survey starts by finding the right place for a cylinder. Semi-detached and terraced houses in Pershore often have an airing cupboard that can be reused for a heat pump cylinder.
Moving from mains gas to a heat pump means finding cylinder space, deciding what happens to the gas supply and comparing running costs on realistic assumptions.
- Households ready to give up gas entirely and drop the standing charge
- Homes in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- System or regular boiler homes with an existing airing cupboard
What's included
- System flush and radiator upgrades where the design calls for them
- Removal of the gas boiler, flue and any loft tanks
- Heat pump cylinder, outdoor unit and weather compensation controls
- Capping of the gas pipe at the boiler position where you are giving up gas
- Free survey with heat loss calculation and cylinder siting
Households across Worcestershire moving off gas can have a survey in Pershore that compares running costs on realistic assumptions.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Pershore 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.

Designing for Pershore's winters
On the shortest day Pershore gets about 7 hours 43 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.
The steps for replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in Pershore
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Pershore home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in Pershore: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Pershore?
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 Pershore home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Evesham as well as Pershore?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Evesham, which is about 6 miles east of Pershore, and across Worcestershire.
How long does installation take in Pershore?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Pershore home states the expected time.
Is there a grant to replace a gas boiler with a heat pump?
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump that replaces a gas boiler, for eligible owners of existing homes. The MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem and deducts the grant from your quote, and Ofgem contacts you to confirm. Scotland has separate Home Energy Scotland funding, and Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner grant at present.
Should I have my gas meter removed?
If gas is used for nothing else, removing the meter ends the gas standing charge, which is about £108 a year at the October to December 2026 price cap. If you still cook on gas or have a gas fire, you will need to keep the supply. Meter removal is arranged through your gas supplier, usually once the heat pump is running; the pipe at the boiler position is capped during the installation.
