Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Shipston-on-Stour homes
A heat pump suits most Shipston-on-Stour homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Owners across Warwickshire can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Shipston-on-Stour. For homes outside Shipston-on-Stour reached by a long drive or narrow lane, delivery of the unit and cylinder is planned in advance.
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.
- Eligible homes in England and Wales within the higher grant window
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Rural and village homes off the mains gas grid
What's included
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
Cottages and farmhouses in and around Shipston-on-Stour often have solid walls, so the survey looks closely at construction and draughts.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Shipston-on-Stour 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 Shipston-on-Stour: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Shipston-on-Stour?
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 Shipston-on-Stour home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Shipston-on-Stour that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Shipston-on-Stour, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Shipston-on-Stour 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 Shipston-on-Stour home.
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.
Is a heat pump cheaper to run than oil?
It depends on oil prices, your home's insulation, the flow temperature and your electricity tariff, so there is no single answer. At the October to December 2026 price cap, a heat pump with a seasonal efficiency of 3.0 delivers heat for about 8.8p per kWh, and at 3.5 about 7.5p. Compare that with your oil cost per kWh of heat, allowing for your boiler's efficiency; the survey estimate gives a figure for your home.
