Air-to-air heat pumps in Wells
We size every heat pump in Wells for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Homes in Wells on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Wells sits around 24 miles from Taunton, inside our Somerset area. Homes in BA5 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Wells
For Wells, expect roughly £2,950 to £11,450 for 2–5 rooms, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. What moves a quote in Wells up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) would typically be £4,450–£7,450 here.

Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.

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 Wells, 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.
Wells is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
A survey in Wells usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Wells at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
