What to know about replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Kingswood
Every property in Kingswood 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.
Bungalows and detached houses near Kingswood running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier. If your home near Kingswood is off the mains gas grid, a heat pump removes the need for oil or LPG deliveries.
Off-gas homes have a lot to plan when switching to a heat pump: the fuel tank, older walls, rural power supplies and higher heat loss.
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Detached houses and bungalows with garden space for the unit
What's included
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Oil tank draining and removal or making safe, as set out in your quote
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
Owners across Gloucestershire can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Kingswood.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Kingswood 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.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Kingswood: questions
How long does installation take in Kingswood?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Kingswood home states the expected time.
Do you cover Mangotsfield as well as Kingswood?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Mangotsfield, which is about 2 miles north of Kingswood, and across Gloucestershire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Kingswood?
A home survey in Kingswood 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.
Do I have to remove my oil tank?
Not always, but it should be emptied and made safe. A tank in good condition can be drained, cleaned and left in place, though most owners prefer to have it taken away to free up space. Old or damaged tanks are usually removed. Your quote says which option is included, and any remaining oil and sludge is disposed of properly.
What happens with a leased LPG tank?
Leased LPG tanks belong to the supplier, so the supplier arranges collection. Check your contract for notice periods and any charges before you fix a date. We time the switchover so you are not left without heating, and once the heat pump is commissioned the supplier can empty and remove the tank. Bottled LPG cylinders are simply returned.
