Air-to-air heat pumps in Ludlow
Ask at your Ludlow survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.
Homes in Ludlow on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Ludlow lies roughly 24 miles from Telford, and we cover it as part of Shropshire. That includes the SY8 postcode district.
Prices in Ludlow
Air-to-air heat pumps in Ludlow typically come in at £2,895–£11,195 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on West Midlands rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our West Midlands figures, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) is about £4,345–£7,295.
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
For most houses in Ludlow, 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 Ludlow 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
We book surveys in Ludlow at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Ludlow cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
