Heat Pumps in Long Stratton

Much of Long Stratton and the surrounding Norfolk countryside is off the gas grid, meaning many homes rely on oil, LPG, or electric heating — all significantly more expensive than a heat pump. A heat pump replaces your boiler entirely, using electricity to extract heat from outdoor air and deliver it to your radiators and hot water cylinder at around 3–4× the efficiency of direct electric heating.

To qualify, your property must have a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations. We check eligibility during the free survey and manage the full application.

No grant paperwork for you to complete

Grant deducted from invoice — instant benefit
Available until at least 2028

ECO4 also available for qualifying properties

How Heat Pump Installation Works

1

Free home survey and heat loss calculation

We visit your Long Stratton property to measure room-by-room heat loss, assess insulation, check radiator sizes, and identify the right heat pump model and output. No charge, no obligation.

2

Detailed quote and BUS grant application

We provide a fixed-price quote showing the full cost, grant deduction, and net cost to you. We then apply for the BUS grant on your behalf before scheduling the installation.

3

Installation — typically 2–3 days

Our MCS-certified engineers fit the external unit, internal cylinder (if needed), controls, and connect to your existing pipework and radiators. Disruption is minimal — most Long Stratton homeowners remain in the property throughout.

4

Commissioning and handover

We commission and test the system, set weather compensation curves for your property's heat loss profile, and walk you through the controls. Your MCS certificate is registered, activating all manufacturer warranties and grant compliance.

The Warm Homes Local Grant (replacing ECO4 from January 2027) offers up to £15,000 for eligible households in Long Stratton to cover insulation, heat pumps, solar panels, and battery storage.

Solar-Powered Heating in Long Stratton

South Norfolk receives 1,025+ kWh/m² annual irradiance. Long Stratton's 1,800 new homes will feature modern, well-oriented rooflines — ideal for solar panel installation from day one. When combined with solar panels, a heat pump in Long Stratton can run on free electricity for much of the year — reducing heating costs by an additional 30-50% beyond the heat pump efficiency gains alone.

Complete Home Energy System in Long Stratton

A heat pump works best as part of a complete renewable energy system. Solar panels generate free electricity to power the heat pump, a battery stores surplus for overnight heating demand, and an EV charger completes the package. For Long Stratton households, the combined system typically reduces total energy costs by 60-80% and eliminates fossil fuel dependency entirely.
