Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Dewsbury homes
A heat pump suits most Dewsbury homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Owners across West Yorkshire can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Dewsbury. If your home near Dewsbury 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.
- Detached houses and bungalows with garden space for the unit
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
What's included
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- MCS certificate and grant application in England and Wales where eligible
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
Bungalows and detached houses near Dewsbury running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier.
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.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Dewsbury: questions
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.
Can you service a heat pump in Dewsbury that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Dewsbury, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
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.
