Air source heat pump installation across Yorkshire
Air source heat pump costs in Grimsby after the £7,500 BUS grant
Quick answer: Most Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham homes pay roughly £9,000–£15,000 to install an air source heat pump, then deduct the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant — bringing the net cost to around £1,500–£7,500. Your MCS installer applies the grant for you, so it comes off the price up front.
Itemised heat pump cost table (net of the £7,500 BUS grant)
The figures below are indicative for typical North East Lincolnshire homes and assume 0% VAT on supply-and-install (in force until 31 March 2027 under HMRC VAT Notice 708/6; it reverts to 5% on 1 April 2027). Final cost depends on heat-loss survey results, radiator upgrades and cylinder size.
| Property size | Typical install cost | BUS grant | Net cost to you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 bed flat / terrace | £9,000 | −£7,500 | £1,500 |
| 2–3 bed semi (Cleethorpes typical) | £11,000 | −£7,500 | £3,500 |
| 3–4 bed detached (Immingham / Waltham) | £13,000 | −£7,500 | £5,500 |
| 4–5 bed / larger off-gas rural home | £15,000 | −£7,500 | £7,500 |
Off-gas villages around Grimsby — think Laceby, Healing, Stallingborough and the rural fringe out toward the Lincolnshire Wolds — often see the strongest savings, because a heat pump replaces expensive oil or LPG rather than mains gas. As MCS-certified air source heat pump installers, YEERS sizes every system from a full heat-loss survey before quoting.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme eligibility checklist
The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme is run by gov.uk for homes in England and Wales. To qualify you'll generally need:
- A valid EPC for the property (with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation, in most cases).
- You're replacing a fossil-fuel system — a gas, oil or LPG boiler, or electric storage heaters.
- An MCS-certified installer applies on your behalf and deducts the £7,500 from your bill — you never claim it yourself.
- The property is in England or Wales (Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham all qualify).
- One grant per property — it can't be combined with previous BUS funding for the same home.
Note: batteries and solar PV are not BUS-eligible — the grant covers the heat pump only.
Why a heat pump makes sense in North East Lincolnshire
With the BUS grant at its current £7,500 level and 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, the upfront gap between a new boiler and a heat pump has rarely been smaller. For off-gas homes paying oil or LPG prices, running costs typically fall too. YEERS provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on every install across Grimsby and the wider Humber area — request a fixed quote and heat-loss survey through our online form.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an air source heat pump cost in Grimsby after the grant?
Most Grimsby homes pay £9,000–£15,000 to install an air source heat pump. After deducting the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, the net cost is typically £1,500–£7,500, depending on property size and any radiator or cylinder upgrades. Your MCS installer applies the grant directly, so it comes off the price before you pay.
Do I qualify for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme in Cleethorpes or Immingham?
Yes, if your home is in England or Wales (Cleethorpes and Immingham both qualify), you have a valid EPC, and you're replacing a fossil-fuel system such as a gas, oil or LPG boiler. An MCS-certified installer applies for the £7,500 grant on your behalf and deducts it from your bill — you don't claim it yourself.
Is there VAT on a heat pump installation in 2026?
No. Domestic heat pump supply-and-install qualifies for 0% VAT until 31 March 2027 under HMRC VAT Notice 708/6. The rate reverts to 5% on 1 April 2027. Some installers wrongly quote 31 January 2027 — the correct cut-off is 31 March 2027, so installing before then captures the full saving.
Are air source heat pumps worth it for off-gas villages near Grimsby?
Often yes. Homes in off-gas villages like Laceby, Healing and Stallingborough usually run on oil or LPG, which is more expensive than mains gas. A heat pump replacing that fuel typically cuts running costs as well as carbon, and these properties tend to see the strongest savings from the £7,500 BUS grant.
Can I get the BUS grant for a heat pump and a battery together?
No. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers the air source or ground source heat pump only — batteries and solar panels are not BUS-eligible. You can still install solar or battery storage alongside a heat pump, and they qualify for 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, but they are funded separately.
Who installs air source heat pumps in Grimsby?
YEERS is a Hull-based, MCS-certified installer covering Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Immingham and the wider North East Lincolnshire area. Every install begins with a full heat-loss survey, includes a 10-year workmanship warranty, and the £7,500 BUS grant is applied on your behalf. Request a fixed quote through our online form.

How a heat pump installation runs in Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire
Every YEERS installation in Grimsby follows the same MCS-certified sequence, from first survey to handover. Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham all sit under North East Lincolnshire Council, and the whole area is served by Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) as the distribution network operator, so the paperwork route is identical across the borough — which is why we can be specific about timescales rather than vague.
The six stages
- Home survey. A physical visit, not a phone estimate. We measure every room, check radiator sizes, loft and cavity insulation, hot water demand, and where the outdoor unit can sit with adequate airflow and a sensible pipe run.
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation. MCS requires a full room-by-room heat loss (BS EN 12831 methodology) before a system can be sized. This decides which radiators need upsizing and what flow temperature the system will run at — typically 45–50°C on a well-designed retrofit.
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application — submitted by us. As the MCS installer we apply for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant on your behalf and take it off the quoted price. You never handle the claim and never pay the £7,500 up front.
- Northern Powergrid notification. Most single-phase domestic air source heat pumps in Grimsby are connected under the notify route. Larger or three-phase units, or properties with an existing EV charger and battery, need prior approval first — allow extra time for that.
- Installation. Typically 2–3 days for a standard Grimsby semi or terrace, longer where a hot water cylinder is fitted for the first time or several radiators are changed.
- Commissioning and handover. System balanced, controls set, MCS certificate issued, and your 10-year workmanship warranty registered.
Typical timescales
| Stage | Typical duration | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| Survey booked from enquiry | 5–10 working days | YEERS |
| Heat loss calculation and design | 3–5 working days | YEERS |
| BUS grant application and voucher issue | 2–4 weeks | YEERS (Ofgem processes) |
| Northern Powergrid notification / approval | Notify: same week · Prior approval: 10–45 working days | YEERS |
| Installation on site | 2–3 days (up to 5 with new cylinder) | YEERS |
| Commissioning, MCS certificate, handover | Same day as completion | YEERS |
Off-gas villages around Grimsby see the biggest saving
Grimsby town is largely on mains gas, but the villages ringing it are not. Laceby, Healing, Barnoldby le Beck, Brigsley, Irby upon Humber, Hatcliffe, Swallow, Tetney and North Thoresby all contain significant numbers of homes on heating oil or LPG. Those are the properties where a heat pump changes the running-cost maths most sharply, because you are replacing an expensive fuel rather than a cheap one.
| Current heating | Relative annual heating cost | Heat pump comparison |
|---|---|---|
| LPG boiler | Highest | Usually the largest saving — LPG is the dearest common heating fuel |
| Heating oil | Mid | Depends on oil price at time of fill; delivery and tank costs also disappear |
| Electric storage heaters | Mid to high | A heat pump delivers roughly 3–4 units of heat per unit of electricity, versus 1 for direct electric |
| Mains gas | Lowest | Savings are modest; the case is usually carbon, comfort and future-proofing |
Off-gas homes tend to be older and more exposed on the Wolds edge, so the heat loss calculation matters even more — undersize the unit and it will struggle in an easterly. Coastal properties have their own considerations, covered on our page for heat pumps Cleethorpes.
VAT on domestic heat pump installations is 0% until 31 March 2027, rising to 5% after that (HMRC VAT Notice 708/6) — so the current window stacks a zero VAT rate on top of the £7,500 grant. Request a written quote through the form and we will book your Grimsby survey.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a heat pump installation take in Grimsby?
The installation itself is typically 2-3 days for a standard Grimsby home, extending to around 5 days where a hot water cylinder is being fitted for the first time or several radiators are being upsized. The full process from enquiry to commissioning usually runs 6-10 weeks, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme application (2-4 weeks) and any Northern Powergrid prior approval being the longest waits rather than the site work.
Do I have to apply for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant myself?
No. Under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme the MCS-certified installer makes the application, not the homeowner. YEERS submits the claim for your Grimsby property and deducts the £7,500 from your quoted price, so you never pay it out and wait for a refund. The grant covers air source heat pumps in England and Wales; batteries are not eligible.
Does Northern Powergrid need to approve my heat pump before it is installed?
It depends on the size of the unit and what else is on your supply. Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) is the distribution network operator for the whole of North East Lincolnshire. Most single-phase domestic air source heat pumps here are connected under the notification route, so no wait is involved. Larger units, three-phase installs, or homes that already have an EV charger and battery may need prior approval, which can take 10-45 working days. We identify which route applies at survey stage.
Why does MCS require a room-by-room heat loss calculation?
Because sizing a heat pump from floor area or from the old boiler's output produces the wrong answer. MCS requires a room-by-room calculation (BS EN 12831 methodology) so the design flow temperature, the heat pump capacity and each radiator can be matched to how much heat that specific room actually loses. It is also what prevents the two classic retrofit failures: an oversized unit that short-cycles, and one cold room that never reaches temperature.
Are heat pumps better value in the villages around Grimsby than in the town?
Generally yes, for running costs. Villages such as Laceby, Healing, Barnoldby le Beck, Irby upon Humber, Hatcliffe, Tetney and North Thoresby contain many homes off the mains gas grid on heating oil or LPG, and replacing those fuels produces the largest saving. Homes on mains gas in Grimsby town still qualify for the same £7,500 grant and the same 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, but the running-cost gap is narrower, so the decision usually rests more on comfort, carbon and avoiding a boiler replacement.
