Hereford and the county sit on the southern Wales border. We survey park-home sites around Leominster and Ross, and the mid-terrace rows in the city, on a dedicated run from our base in Rowley Regis. Oil and LPG are common off the gas grid, both get the same temporary £9,000 grant (up from £7,500) until March 2027. Larger farmhouses and detached village homes, plus semis and bungalows, are where radiators and pipework create a customer contribution. If ECO4 has already been claimed, the heat pump usually goes in at no extra cost to you. Serving Hereford from our base in Rowley Regis.
Herefordshire has a high share of park homes and rural oil, plus mid-terrace streets in the city, oil and LPG get the same temporary £9,000 grant until March 2027. Farmhouses, detached village homes, semis and bungalows are where extras appear.
We install air source heat pumps on terraces, semis, detached houses, bungalows and park homes in Hereford, not only the property type in the job below. Serving Hereford from our base in Rowley Regis, every quote already has the £7,500–£9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme deducted. Gas and electric homes get the standard £7,500, oil and LPG get the £9,000 rate, which is the temporary rate until March 2027.
Ground source is worth surveying where the plot can take a borehole or a trench. Biomass is the honest alternative on a few rural off-gas homes a heat pump cannot heat well. We will tell you on the survey rather than sell the wrong system.
You deal with local air source heat pump installers, MCS-certified, not a call centre. Compare the published figures and certifications on this page, that is the evidence, not a slogan.
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 Hereford
Most homes in Hereford 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 Hereford 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 Hereford 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 Hereford, 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.
