Discreet, high-performance systems for Scraptoft

Scraptoft is exactly the kind of place where renewables make the biggest difference. Many homes here are off the mains-gas grid — running on oil, LPG or old electric heating — where a heat pump slashes running costs dramatically. We specialise in rural properties: quiet R290 units, careful siting, and designs that respect the character of village homes.

Off-gas oil & LPG homes

The single biggest saving opportunity — and often eligible for the enhanced £9,000 BUS grant.

Cottages & barns

Bespoke sizing for older, larger rural properties where standard packages fall short.

Rural roofs for solar

Generous roof space and low shading make village homes superb candidates for solar and battery storage.

Heat pumps, solar & battery storage in Scraptoft: a local guide

Homes in Scraptoft face the full range of the East Midlands climate: cold, damp spells through winter that push any heating system hard, followed by long, mild shoulder seasons in spring and autumn where an efficient system quietly saves you money. A modern air source heat pump is built for exactly this pattern. Rather than blasting heat in short, expensive bursts like a gas boiler, it delivers gentle, continuous warmth at a low flow temperature — which is both more comfortable and far cheaper to run. Every system we design for a Scraptoft home is sized from a full room-by-room heat-loss calculation, so it is matched to your property rather than a rule-of-thumb estimate.

The housing in Scraptoft ranges from established semis and period terraces to newer estates, and each responds differently to a heat pump. We survey every Scraptoft property room by room and design a system that fits the fabric of the building rather than forcing a standard box onto it. Where insulation can be improved cheaply first, we will tell you — getting the basics right is what keeps running costs low and comfort high for the long term.

Running costs are where Scraptoft homeowners tend to see the biggest change. Many properties here are off the mains-gas grid, relying on oil, LPG or older electric heating — the most expensive ways to heat a home. Switching to a heat pump typically cuts those running costs sharply, and because off-gas-grid homes qualify for the enhanced £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant (available for applications from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), the upfront cost of going green in Scraptoft has never been lower. We handle the entire grant application on your behalf and deduct it from your invoice, and solar and battery storage carry 0% VAT until 2027.

Being based just 4 miles away in Leicester, we know Scraptoft and Leicestershire well and can be on site quickly for surveys, installs and aftercare. Getting started is simple: begin with a free online estimate to see the likely system, savings and grant for your home, with no cost and no obligation. When you are ready for an exact price, our £250 home survey delivers a full room-by-room heat-loss assessment and a bespoke system design — and that fee is fully refunded when you go ahead with your installation. From there we handle everything, from MCS certification and grant paperwork to Building Control and DNO notifications, with lifetime monitoring and annual servicing to keep your system efficient for years to come.

Common questions

Heat pumps & solar in Scraptoft

Straight answers to the questions Scraptoft homeowners ask us most.

Do you install heat pumps in Scraptoft?
Yes — Greenmotion Renewables installs air source heat pumps, solar panels and battery storage throughout Scraptoft and the wider Leicestershire area. We're MCS-certified, RECC members and Heat Geek trained, and based just 4 miles away in Leicester.
How much does a heat pump cost in Scraptoft?
As an indicative guide, an average 3-bed Scraptoft home is typically £10,000–£14,000 before grants, with smaller or well-insulated homes lower and larger or older properties higher. The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant and 0% VAT then reduce the net figure significantly. The only accurate price comes from a local survey.
Is the £7,500 heat pump grant available in Scraptoft?
Yes. Every MCS-certified air source heat pump in Scraptoft qualifies for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and because many Scraptoft homes are off the mains-gas grid, eligible properties can claim the enhanced £9,000 grant between 21 July 2026 and 31 March 2027. We apply for it on your behalf and deduct it from your invoice.
How quickly can you survey my Scraptoft home?
Scraptoft is on our doorstep, so we can usually arrange a survey within a few days. The survey is a proper room-by-room heat-loss assessment — not a quick look — so your system is designed around your actual home.
Can I add solar panels and a battery in Scraptoft too?
Absolutely. Many Scraptoft homeowners pair a heat pump with solar panels and battery storage to power the heat pump from their own roof and cut bills year-round. We design the whole system together so it works as one, and solar carries 0% VAT.
