Why Install a Heat Pump?

Air source heat pumps can work very well in the right property when the system is designed properly from the start.

💰

Potentially Lower Running Costs

In the right property, with the right system design and controls, a heat pump can cut running costs compared with an older or poorly performing boiler setup.

🏛️

£7,500 Government Grant

Nimbus can guide you through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and handle the grant application as part of the installation process.

🏛️

Current Approved BUS Values

Current approved BUS grant values are £7,500 for air-to-water heat pumps, £2,500 for air-to-air (A2A) heat pumps, £7,500 for ground-source or water-source heat pumps, and £5,000 for eligible biomass boilers, subject to official criteria.

🏛️

£9,000 Oil/LPG Announcement

GOV.UK also announced on 21 April 2026 that properties heated by oil or LPG will have BUS support increased to £9,000. Nimbus confirms the live application route before quoting or deducting this uplift.

🌱

Lower-Carbon Heating

Heat pumps avoid on-site combustion and are a strong option for homeowners who want a more efficient, lower-carbon heating system.

🌡️

Comfortable Low-Carbon Heating

Heat pumps deliver steady, lower-temperature heating that works well with a properly designed system and good controls.

🔧

Simple Annual Maintenance

A properly installed heat pump still needs servicing, but routine annual maintenance is straightforward and helps performance stay consistent.

Is Your Property Suitable?

Most properties in North Lincolnshire can benefit from a heat pump. Here's what we look for during our free home survey.

Your property has adequate insulation (loft, cavity wall, or solid wall)
You have outdoor space for the heat pump unit (garden, driveway, or wall-mounted)
Your current heating system uses radiators or underfloor heating
You want lower-carbon heating and are open to a system designed around your home
Your property is in England or Wales and has a valid EPC
You are replacing an existing fossil fuel heating system and want Nimbus to handle the grant process

What Nimbus Checks During the Survey

The survey is where we confirm whether a heat pump is the right fit, what upgrades might be needed, and how the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies to your home.

Insulation Levels

Heat pumps work best in well-insulated homes, so we check loft, cavity wall, or other relevant insulation before recommending a system.

Radiator Sizing

We review whether your current radiators can work well at lower flow temperatures or whether targeted upgrades would be sensible.

Outdoor Unit Position

The survey confirms a practical outdoor location with the right airflow, access, and pipe run for the heat pump unit.

Hot Water Cylinder Space

If you currently have a combi boiler, we check where a suitable cylinder could go and what changes would be needed inside the property.

From initial enquiry to final handover, we make the heat pump installation process simple and stress-free.
