Air to air heat pumps in Nottingham

Air to air heat pumps suit many Nottingham homes, especially flats and smaller homes on electric heating. A typical install for a flat or small house is about £4,500, and if you're replacing gas, oil, LPG or electric heating the £2,500 grant comes off that. Tell us about your home and we'll pass your enquiry to up to three F-gas certified installers who cover Nottingham.

Nottingham homes and air to air heat pumps

Nottingham's terraces in Sneinton, Forest Fields and Hyson Green sit alongside student houses in Lenton and Beeston, Victorian villas in The Park, warehouse apartments in the Lace Market and suburban semis in West Bridgford and Mapperley.

What to know locally

  • The Park Estate: a private estate and conservation area with its own rules on external changes, so check with the estate as well as the council.
  • Lace Market: many listed warehouse conversions, so consent is likely and units usually go on roofs or in courtyards.
  • Student lets: landlords replacing electric heating can use the grant if they meet the conditions.
  • Surrounding areas: we also cover Beeston, West Bridgford, Arnold, Long Eaton, Derby and Mansfield.

Grant

The £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applies in Nottingham as in the rest of England. The system must replace your existing heating, be able to meet your home's heating needs, and be fitted by an installer MCS certified for air to air. It doesn't heat water, so plan for that if you're removing a boiler.

Planning

In England, a unit that provides heating is usually permitted development if it's installed to MCS 020 and meets the size, siting and 42 dB noise limits. Planning decisions here are made by Nottingham City Council (Rushcliffe, Gedling and Broxtowe cover the suburbs). See our planning guide.
