Heat Pumps for Landlords

About this site

What this site is

A plain-English guide for landlords deciding what to do about heating and energy ratings in rented homes. The government plans to require EPC C for in-scope private tenancies by 1 October 2030; the Boiler Upgrade Scheme already pays £7,500 towards a heat pump for property owners, landlords included; and a heat pump changes the bills a tenant pays. Most guides cover one of those three things. This one tries to keep them together, because the right answer for a rented property depends on all three.

Two tools use the published figures directly: the EPC C deadline checker and the landlord heat pump calculator. Both run in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.

What this site is not

  • Not an installer or assessor. We do not survey, fit, sell or guarantee anything, and we hold no trade accreditation. When we mention MCS or TrustMark, it is so you can check the firms you deal with.
  • Not the government. We do not administer any grant or the EPC register, and we cannot approve or speed up an application. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is applied for by a registered installer on your behalf.
  • Not legal, tax or financial advice. The rules are explained as published, with their dates. For your own circumstances, ask a qualified adviser.

How the site makes money

If you choose to send an enquiry through one of our forms, we pass it to relevant independent firms that cover your postcode, such as heat pump installers, who may contact you to quote. Those firms may pay for introductions. You are never charged, you are under no obligation, and you do not need to use the form to use the site. Our privacy notice explains what happens to your details.

How we source and check facts

Every grant amount, date and price comes from a primary source and is stored in one place with its source and the date it was read, so it can be corrected everywhere at once. Scheme rules change: the extra £1,500 for oil and LPG homes ends on 31 March 2027, and the EPC C regulations had not been laid at the time of writing. We date every page and re-check the official pages regularly. Where a figure comes from a secondary source because the primary document was not yet available, the page says so. The main sources are:

If you spot something out of date or wrong, tell us through the contact form and we will correct it.

Every source this site reads from

These are all 75 primary sources behind the figures on this site, with the date each one was last read. If a source changes, the figure changes everywhere it is used.

Who publishes it

Published by SEO-DONS LTD (company no. 16766013), 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ. You can check the company on the Companies House register. We do not take phone calls; the contact form is the way to reach us.
