Heat pump grants in Liversedge: what to expect
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Liversedge is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Homeowners in Liversedge get a clear written quote showing the full price and any funding that applies. Across Liversedge and West Yorkshire, the paperwork for funding applications is prepared alongside your quote.
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

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Liversedge 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 Liversedge's winters
On the shortest day Liversedge gets only about 7 hours 26 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 13° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.
What happens after you enquire in Liversedge?
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Liversedge 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 Liversedge: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Liversedge house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Liversedge home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Liversedge?
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 Liversedge home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Cleckheaton as well as Liversedge?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Cleckheaton, which is about 2 miles north-west of Liversedge, and across West Yorkshire.
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.
