Air source heat pump installers in Lancaster
Published and last updated 15 October 2026
Homeowners in Lancaster can get £7,500 off an air source heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, or £9,000 if the home is off the gas grid and heated by oil or LPG, as long as an MCS-certified installer fits it. We match Lancaster homes with up to three MCS-certified installers covering LA postcodes so you can compare quotes.
How much is the heat pump grant in Lancaster?
The grant in Lancaster is the same as anywhere in England: £7,500 for an air-to-water heat pump, £9,000 for eligible off-gas homes until 31 March 2027, and £2,500 for air-to-air.
Lancaster and Morecambe are mostly on mains gas, but many homes in the Lune Valley and the Forest of Bowland have no mains gas and may qualify for £9,000 if heated by oil or LPG.
Do homes in Lancaster suit a heat pump?
Lancaster's sandstone terraces and Georgian and Victorian homes can take heat pumps, though older solid-walled properties need careful radiator sizing; rural farmhouses with land may also suit ground source.
Is there extra funding in Lancaster?
Lancaster is part of the Lancashire Warm Homes: Local Grant consortium, delivered through Cosy Homes in Lancashire.
