Air Source Heat Pumps in Milton Keynes

Air source heat pumps across Milton Keynes: what to expect

Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system.

1. First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
2. The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
3. We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
4. We install the heat pump and connect it up.
5. After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.

What you’ll pay

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What you get with us

• NICEIC approved electrical contractors
• Every job looked at before it’s priced
• F-Gas company certification
• One contact for properties across the South East and London

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

The countryside around Milton Keynes includes Blue Lagoon Park and Lodge Lake.

Looking after your system

Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:

• Leave indoor units unobstructed
• Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
• Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
• Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together

Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.

Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.

How we price air source heat pumps

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

• Access, including height, roofs and ladders
• A single visit or a regular plan
• How far the pipework has to run, and where
• The condition of any existing system

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Before you get in touch

Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:

• Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
• The rating plate or label on any existing unit
• Your installation or service records
• A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
