Air-to-air heat pumps in Corby
We size every heat pump in Corby for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds.

Prices in Corby
Air-to-air heat pumps in Corby typically come in at £2,845–£10,995 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on East Midlands rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands tend to be. What moves a quote in Corby 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
For most houses in Corby, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
If your home in Corby 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. 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.
