Heat pump installation in Norwich
A plain verdict on your Norwich home, then a fixed price from an MCS-certified installer with the £7,500 grant off.
Heat pumps in Norwich homes
Many Norwich homes are a decent match for a heat pump. Insulated semis and bungalows with gardens are often the most straightforward, because they hold heat and have space for the unit. Victorian terraces near the centre need more thought. For homes just outside the city still on oil, a heat pump can be well worth a look. Homes switching from oil can still claim the £7,500 grant.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 off an air source heat pump. Your MCS-certified installer claims it and takes it off your bill.
Interwar and postwar semis: One of the better house types for a heat pump, provided the cavities and loft are insulated. The garden or side path usually has room for the unit.
Victorian terraces inside the ring road: Possible but needs care, since solid brick walls lose heat quickly. Expect some radiator upsizing and a careful look at where the unit can sit.
Bungalows on the city edge: Often a good fit: single-storey homes with large lofts are easy to insulate and usually have garden space for the unit.

Heat pump installation in Norwich: questions
How much is a heat pump in Norwich?
A typical air source heat pump costs £11,000 to £14,500 before grant. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant usually brings it to about £3,500 to £7,000. Any radiator work is shown separately on your fixed quote.
I heat my home with oil. Does the grant still apply?
Yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers replacing oil, gas and other fossil-fuel systems. You need a valid EPC, to own the home and to use an MCS-certified installer, who claims the £7,500 for you.
Do bungalows suit heat pumps?
Often, yes. They are easy to insulate through the loft and usually have space in the garden for the unit. Some need one or two larger radiators to stay warm at the lower water temperatures a heat pump runs at.
Does a Norwich semi need insulation before a heat pump?
It is not a grant requirement, but filled cavities and a well-insulated loft let a smaller unit do the job and keep running costs down. Your installer's heat loss survey shows how much difference it would make.
