Heat pump grants for Adwick le Street homes
The question for an Adwick le Street home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
We confirm at the survey which funding route a home in Adwick le Street is likely to qualify for. Oil and LPG-heated homes around Adwick le Street can have their options set out alongside the cost of a full system.
Heat pump funding depends on which UK nation you live in, so we confirm what applies to your home and handle the grant steps alongside your quote.
- Landlords in England and Wales, who can apply for their let properties
- Homeowners in England and Wales replacing gas, oil, LPG or electric heating
- Homes in England and Wales on oil or LPG, where a higher grant applies between set dates
What's included

- Installation scheduled around your grant confirmation or funding offer
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application made by the MCS-certified installer (England and Wales)
- Written quote showing the full price and any grant deduction
- MCS certificate and handover documents after installation
For landlords with property in Adwick le Street, we explain the funding position for each home before quoting.
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 Adwick le Street 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.

Heat pump grants in Adwick le Street: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Adwick le Street that someone else installed?

Do I need an EPC for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
No longer. Since 28 April 2026, a valid EPC is not required for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in England and Wales. The system must still meet the home's full heating and hot water needs, which the room-by-room heat loss calculation confirms. The other eligibility rules, such as owning the property, still apply.
Who applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
In England and Wales, the MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme on your behalf, and the grant is deducted from your quote. Ofgem then contacts you as the property owner to confirm the details. Your quote names the MCS-certified installer for your job, so you know who is making the application.
