Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Avon Castle
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you are dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Avon Castle need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Questions from Avon Castle
Do you cover smaller places like Avon Castle?
Yes. Avon Castle is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is Avon Castle in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Avon Castle is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Avon Castle
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
With Avon Tyrrell House about 3.5 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
