NCS Plumbing & Heating Specialists is proud to be an approved installer for air source heat pumps on the 2026 Switch Together scheme in Suffolk. This page walks you through what happens from here, how to get ready for your home survey, and the questions homeowners ask us most.
Approved installer
The Switch Together scheme is organised by iChoosr in partnership with local authorities. As a participating installer, NCS meets all Switch Together quality standards. We do not run the scheme.
Switch Together helps make heat pumps more accessible and affordable through group buying. Now that you've been matched with NCS, here's how things work from here.
Switch Together sends you package prices for your home. There's no obligation to go ahead.
If you're happy with the price and want to go ahead, Switch Together passes you to us as your installer. One of our surveyors then visits your home to confirm the right system for it. You can contact our team at any point from here if you have a question.
If you decide to go ahead, we design your system around your home and apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant on your behalf.
Our own team installs and commissions your heat pump, then hands it over and shows you how to use the controls so you're comfortable running it.
Once it's in, we're on hand for servicing and for any questions about getting the best from your new system.
We've been installing heating systems since 2000, and renewable energy systems since 2013. We're based in Hertford, and as an approved installer for the Suffolk scheme, we carry out heat pump installations for Switch Together customers across Suffolk. From your survey to your aftercare, you'll deal directly with the NCS team.
The survey is how we make sure your heat pump is the right size and in the right place for your home. A little preparation helps it go smoothly and means you get more out of the visit.
If your question isn't here, send it to us using the form below and our team will get back to you.
No. Your offer comes with no obligation, so you can take the time you need to decide and ask us anything before you do.
Not always. Heat pumps heat your home at a lower, steadier temperature than a boiler, so some rooms may need a larger radiator to stay comfortable. The survey works this out room by room, and any changes needed are set out before you decide.
Yes. A heat pump heats your water and stores it in a cylinder, rather than heating it on demand like a combi boiler. If you don't have one, or yours isn't suitable, your survey will look at where a new one could go.
Yes. Air source heat pumps keep drawing heat from the outside air even when it's below freezing. Your system is sized at the survey so it can heat your home on the coldest days of the year.
It's a government grant towards the cost of replacing your current heating system with a heat pump. We apply for it on your behalf, so there's no separate application for you to make, and you don't need an EPC to qualify. We'll gather what the application needs when we visit, and may just ask you for a recent utility bill.
