“We was a bit unsure about getting a heat pump at first cos heard mixed things but NorthStar actually explained it all decent and didnt just try sell us one straight away. They checked house properly first and went through what would work best for us. Install took a bit of organising but lads kept us updated and got on with it. Been using it a few weeks now and house stays warm no problem and its quieter than I expected aswell.”Hollie Grogan Google review
Replace your oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump
No more tank top-ups, delivery charges or watching the gauge in winter. For eligible off-gas homes around Sheffield, the grant is £9,000 on installs until 31 March 2027.
Why off-gas homes are switching
- No fuel deliveries. No ordering, no minimum drops, no running out over Christmas.
- No tank to look after. No leak worries, no tank replacement, and nothing for anyone to siphon.
- A bigger grant. £9,000 instead of £7,500 for eligible off-gas homes, until 31 March 2027.
- Stable running costs. You're no longer exposed to swings in heating oil and LPG prices.
Heat pumps in rural and stone-built homes
A lot of off-gas homes around Sheffield are older stone cottages and farmhouses, with thick walls, high ceilings and draughty spots. They can work very well with a heat pump, but only when the system is designed for the building rather than picked off a chart.
We do a full room-by-room heat loss calculation, check whether any radiators need upsizing, and look at quick wins like loft insulation. If your home needs a bigger heat pump or a few changes first, we'll tell you upfront and price it properly.
Areas with lots of off-gas homes
We regularly cover off-gas properties around Bradfield, Loxley, Stannington, Dungworth, Penistone, the Hope Valley, Holymoorside and the villages between Sheffield and the Peak District.
Replacing an oil boiler in a plant room or outbuilding
Many oil boilers live in a garage, outhouse or utility room. That's often a good home for the new hot water cylinder and controls too, keeping the install neat and freeing up space indoors.
What customers say
5-star reviews from our Google Business Profile.
“Had no idea what size heat pump we needed or whether the house would even suit one, so was half expecting a load of confusing sales talk. Didn’t get any of that. Everything was explained simply, we knew what we were paying for and the install went smoother than expected. House is heating up nicely and it’s been easy enough to get used to. Very happy we went ahead with it.”Mateusz Google review
Off-gas questions
Is there a bigger grant for homes on oil or LPG?
Yes. Eligible homes that are off the gas grid can get £9,000 instead of £7,500 for a heat pump installed between 21 July 2026 and 31 March 2027. That covers a lot of homes on the Peak District side of Sheffield. We check whether your property qualifies at the survey.
Does a heat pump work when it's freezing outside?
Yes. Air source heat pumps keep producing heat well below zero. We size the system to keep your home warm on the coldest days typical for Sheffield, not just an average winter day.
Will a heat pump work in an older Sheffield house?
Most homes can be heated by a heat pump, including older stone and brick houses, as long as the system is sized from a proper heat loss calculation. Sometimes a few radiators need to be bigger, or the loft insulation needs topping up. We tell you honestly at the survey, and if a heat pump isn't right for your home we'll say so.
Are heat pumps cheaper to run than a gas boiler?
A well-designed heat pump turns each unit of electricity into several units of heat, so running costs depend mainly on how well the system is designed and which electricity tariff you use. We set the controls up for efficient running and can talk you through heat pump tariffs at handover.
