Air-to-air heat pumps in Taunton
Ask at your Taunton survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
We size every heat pump in Taunton for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. As well as Taunton itself, our Somerset coverage takes in Bath, Weston-super-Mare and the towns around them. Coverage includes TA1.
Prices in Taunton
Air-to-air heat pumps in Taunton typically come in at £2,950–£11,450 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) would typically be £4,450–£7,450 here.
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
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 Taunton 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 Taunton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Taunton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
