Heat pump grants in Keighley: what to expect
Every property in Keighley 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.
We confirm at the survey which funding route a home in Keighley is likely to qualify for. Homeowners in Keighley 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.
- Homes in England and Wales on oil or LPG, where a higher grant applies between set dates
- Anyone unsure which scheme applies and wanting it checked before committing
- Homeowners in England and Wales replacing gas, oil, LPG or electric heating
What's included
- MCS certificate and handover documents after installation
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application made by the MCS-certified installer (England and Wales)
- Eligibility check for the scheme that covers your nation
- Installation scheduled around your grant confirmation or funding offer
- Written quote showing the full price and any grant deduction
Installation dates in Keighley are fixed around any funding confirmation, so work does not start too early.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Keighley 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.

Heat pump grants in Keighley: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Keighley?
A home survey in Keighley usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Can you service a heat pump in Keighley that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Keighley, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Keighley?
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 Keighley 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.
