Birmingham’s housing is a gift for heat pumps if you design them properly. The 1930s semis of Kings Heath, Harborne and Erdington take well to high-temperature units, many keep their existing radiators with only one or two upgrades. Victorian terraces in Moseley, Stirchley and Sparkhill often need a slightly larger cylinder and careful siting in the side return, which we plan on the survey so you are not surprised on install day. Detached houses, bungalows and park homes get the same heat-loss calculation, not a floor-area guess. We fitted a 3-bed terrace in Kings Heath last spring, heat pump, new cylinder, two radiator swaps. Total £10,200, grant £7,500, the customer paid £2,700, extras because two emitters had to go up a size. Straight-swap mid-terraces, like the Rowley Regis job we published, often pay £0. We can survey your property tomorrow, and every quote already has the Boiler Upgrade Scheme deducted.
Based at Rowley Regis, we install air source heat pumps for electric, gas, oil and LPG heated homes. We cover all sorts of properties including terraces, semis, detached houses, bungalows and park homes in Birmingham and its neighbourhoods. We quote the deducted grant amount for each house which is £7,500 for gas and electric heated homes and £9,000 (temporarily till March, 2027) for oil and LPG heated houses.
As per our experience in Birmingham, we recommend air source heat pumps for Birmingham because most properties don’t have the outdoor space ground source needs. Ground source heat pumps are applicable on some of the properties and a biomass boiler is not even an option in Birmingham because it applies on off-grid rural homes only. We will tell you which heat pump can be installed on your house on the survey rather than selling you the wrong system.

Typical installed prices for Birmingham homes depend on property size, radiators and whether you are on gas, oil or LPG. See our air source heat pump cost guide for West Midlands ranges, grants and sample quotes.
How an install actually works
Step 1
Survey
A surveyor walks the house, notes construction, insulation, radiators and a legal position for the outdoor unit. Takes about an hour. No hard sell.
Step 2
Heat loss calculation
Room-by-room calculation to MCS standards — not a rule of thumb from floor area. This is what sizes the pump and tells us which radiators stay.
Step 3
System design
Make, output, cylinder, pipework, controls, and any emitter upgrades. The £7,500 grant is shown as a line on the quote, already deducted.
Step 4
Installation day
Usually two to four days. Old boiler out, heat pump and cylinder in, system commissioned and handed over with a walk-through of the controls.
Step 5
Aftercare
MCS paperwork, manufacturer warranty registration, and a number you can actually ring. We service what we fit.

Heat pump questions in Birmingham
Most homes in Birmingham and across England and Wales do. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is open to property owners — including landlords and second-home owners — who are replacing gas, oil, LPG or electric heating with a heat pump. It isn't means-tested, so age, income and benefits don't matter, and you no longer need an EPC to apply. If you rent, your landlord would need to be the applicant; we can still survey and design the system with their permission. Social housing and most new builds aren't eligible. The 30-second checker, or one phone call, is the quickest way to know.
Installation prices in Birmingham typically range from £7,000 to £18,000 depending on your property size, with a national reported median around £12,900. That's before the grant, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme takes £7,500 for air-to-water heat pumps replacing a fossil fuel boiler, or £9,000 for oil and LPG homes (temporary rate until March 2027), straight off your quote before you pay anything. Mid-terrace houses and park homes often end up paying £0 to a few thousand pounds, larger detached homes typically pay more, mainly for radiators, pipework and a bigger cylinder. See our full cost breakdown by property type for real West Midlands examples here.
A modern unit is about as loud as a fridge from a few metres away, typically 40–50 decibels. MCS installation rules set a strict noise limit at your nearest neighbour's window, and we position the unit on the Birmingham survey to meet it. If the only legal spot for your property is a poor one, we'll tell you honestly at survey stage rather than fit it anyway and deal with complaints later. More on how we site and fit a unit. See air source heat pumps.
Mostly, yes. Modern high-output heat pumps run many 1930s and post-war West Midlands homes on their existing radiators, sometimes with one or two rooms needing a larger emitter. We never guess this, every free survey includes a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and everything is itemised in the custom fixed quote upfront. Often it works with the radiators that are already in place, we usually have to upgrade items like pipes or extra wires if we are changing a radiator's position. Replacing the radiator is rare. How an install is designed. See air source heat pumps.
If you're replacing it with a heat pump in Birmingham, yes, you can get £7,500 (or £9,000 if you're on oil or LPG), through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, deducted before you pay. The government grant is specifically to replace a fossil fuel boiler or electric heating system with a heat pump, not for a like-for-like gas boiler swap. On oil or LPG? See oil and LPG replacement. To check if a heat pump is right for your home, we'll tell you honestly on the survey rather than push you toward one. See park home heat pumps.
