Air-to-air heat pumps in Glastonbury
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. We size every heat pump in Glastonbury for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer.
Homes in Glastonbury on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Glastonbury lies roughly 19 miles from Taunton, and we cover it as part of Somerset. Postcode districts we cover here include BA6.

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.
If your home in Glastonbury 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
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 Glastonbury at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
