What to know about heat pump grants in Warwick
Every property in Warwick 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.
Homeowners in Warwick get a clear written quote showing the full price and any funding that applies. Installation dates in Warwick are fixed around any funding confirmation, so work does not start too early.
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.
- Anyone unsure which scheme applies and wanting it checked before committing
- Homes in England and Wales on oil or LPG, where a higher grant applies between set dates
- Landlords in England and Wales, who can apply for their let properties
What's included
- MCS certificate and handover documents after installation
- Written quote showing the full price and any grant deduction
- Installation scheduled around your grant confirmation or funding offer
- Eligibility check for the scheme that covers your nation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application made by the MCS-certified installer (England and Wales)
We confirm at the survey which funding route a home in Warwick is likely to qualify for.
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 Warwick 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 Warwick's winters
Warwick has about 7 hours 41 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 47 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.
From survey to switch-on in Warwick
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Warwick 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.
Heat pump grants in Warwick: questions
What size heat pump does a Warwick 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 Warwick home.
Do you cover Royal Leamington Spa as well as Warwick?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Royal Leamington Spa, which is about 3 miles east of Warwick, and across Warwickshire.
How long does installation take in Warwick?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Warwick home states the expected time.
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.
How much is the heat pump grant?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, or £9,000 when replacing oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers up to £7,500, plus a rural uplift and an optional loan. Northern Ireland has no dedicated grant at present.
