Air-to-air heat pumps in St Neots
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. We size every heat pump in St Neots for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer.
Homes in St Neots on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Our Cambridgeshire coverage takes in St Neots, about 25 miles from Peterborough. We cover PE19 and the streets around them.
Prices in St Neots
Air-to-air heat pumps in St Neots typically come in at £3,295–£12,795 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on East of England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. What moves a quote in St Neots up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) would typically be £4,995–£8,345 here.
Two rooms
Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.
Small home
Three or four rooms heated and cooled.
Whole home
Five or more rooms, sized to replace the existing heating.
Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
St Neots is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. We book surveys in St Neots at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
