Heat Pumps in Salisbury
Salisbury is a cathedral city at the confluence of five rivers, with a housing mix that spans medieval timber-framed buildings in the Close to modern estates in Laverstock and Old Sarum. The city centre falls within a large conservation area, which means outdoor unit placement requires careful planning — but heat pumps are still permitted development for most properties, and we have experience navigating conservation area requirements. Salisbury's surrounding villages — Wilton, Downton, Amesbury, Durrington, and Tidworth — include many properties that are off the gas grid and reliant on oil or LPG heating. These rural and semi-rural homes represent the strongest financial case for heat pumps, with potential savings of £800–£1,300 per year on heating bills alone. We regularly install heat pumps in the villages across Salisbury Plain, where larger detached properties with generous gardens make installation straightforward. The city itself has a good mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the Fisherton and Castle Road areas, inter-war semis in the Bemerton Heath and Harnham areas, and post-war housing in Bishopdown. Salisbury's inland position means slightly cooler winters than the Dorset coast, but modern air source heat pumps perform excellently in these conditions — efficiency remains high even when temperatures drop to -5°C or below.
