Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Boston

Heat pumps in Boston

The housing here has its own character, and that character decides the design.

Boston is a flat fenland town of Georgian and Victorian brick, with postwar and modern estates around the edges and a large stock of bungalows.

Bungalows are good news for a heat pump - single-storey heat loss and generous loft access for pipework - but the older brick property in the town centre is solid-walled and wants the fabric assessing properly.

Siting and permissions in Boston

A few things worth settling before the install date rather than on it.

Planning. Boston Borough Council is the planning authority. The bigger practical constraint here is not planning but flood risk: on much of the town the outdoor unit wants mounting clear of the design flood level, not sat on a low plinth.
Position and weather. Flat, open and exposed off the Wash - wind chill across an unsheltered evaporator is a genuine factor, and so is salt carried inland on an easterly.
Fuel and grant. The fen villages around Boston include a real number of oil-heated homes, which qualify for the higher Boiler Upgrade Scheme rate.
Noise. Every installation gets an MCS 020 sound assessment, which is what the permitted development route depends on — we do it at survey stage, not afterwards.

Is there a charge for a survey in Boston? +

No. The home survey and the written quote are free and carry no obligation. The room-by-room heat loss calculation, the emitter schedule, the cylinder, the controls and the commissioning are all priced before anything is ordered.

Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Boston? +

Most domestic air source heat pump installations go ahead under permitted development, provided the unit meets the siting and noise conditions. Planning here sits with Boston Borough Council, and where a property is listed or in a conservation area we assume consent is needed and establish that before the quote is signed off rather than on the install date.
