Air-to-air heat pumps in Tiverton
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Ask at your Tiverton survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home.
Homes in Tiverton on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Tiverton lies roughly 46 miles from Plymouth, and we cover it as part of Devon. We cover EX16 and the streets around them.

Our South West England guide price for air-to-air heat pumps is £2,950–£11,450 for 2–5 rooms, VAT included. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work.

Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
If your home in Tiverton is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. Surveys in Tiverton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
