Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Mirfield homes
The question for a Mirfield home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
If your home near Mirfield is off the mains gas grid, a heat pump removes the need for oil or LPG deliveries. Owners across West Yorkshire can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Mirfield.
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.
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
- Eligible homes in England and Wales within the higher grant window
What's included
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- MCS certificate and grant application in England and Wales where eligible
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
Bungalows and detached houses near Mirfield running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Mirfield quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Mirfield: questions
How long does installation take in Mirfield?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Mirfield home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Mirfield home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Mirfield home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Mirfield?
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 Mirfield home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
