What to know about heat pump grants in Dewsbury
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Dewsbury is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Oil and LPG-heated homes around Dewsbury can have their options set out alongside the cost of a full system. Homeowners in Dewsbury get a clear written quote showing the full price and any funding that applies.
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.
- 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
- Landlords in England and Wales, who can apply for their let properties
What's included
- Eligibility check for the scheme that covers your nation
- Written quote showing the full price and any grant deduction
- MCS certificate and handover documents after installation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application made by the MCS-certified installer (England and Wales)
- Installation scheduled around your grant confirmation or funding offer
For landlords with property in Dewsbury, we explain the funding position for each home before quoting.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Dewsbury 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.
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.

Designing for Dewsbury's winters
Dewsbury sees roughly 7 hours 26 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 05 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
How installation works in Dewsbury
- Tell us about your home: postcode, property type and current heating.
- We book a survey in Dewsbury; the surveyor measures rooms, windows and radiators and looks at cylinder space.
- The design and quote arrive in writing, including radiator changes and the outdoor unit position.
- On installation days the old system is removed and the new one fitted and filled.
- We commission the heat pump, show you the controls and register the installation.
Heat pump grants in Dewsbury: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Dewsbury?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in West Yorkshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Ossett as well as Dewsbury?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Ossett, which is about 2 miles east of Dewsbury, and across West Yorkshire.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Dewsbury?
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 Dewsbury home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
