Air-to-air heat pumps in Yate
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. We size every heat pump in Yate for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer.
Ask at your Yate survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Yate lies roughly 24 miles from Gloucester, and we cover it as part of Gloucestershire. Postcode districts we cover here include BS37.
Prices in Yate
In South West England, our guide range for air-to-air heat pumps is £2,950–£11,450 for 2–5 rooms, including VAT. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. What moves a quote in Yate up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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 Yate 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.
