About our air source heat pumps in Bedham
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are ageing boilers that will need replacing and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
In a place like Bedham, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What affects the quote in Bedham
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of any existing system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Your installation or service records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
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.

What a heat pump looks like in Bedham
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 43% of homes across Bedham and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Old Place Manor about 2.2 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bedham
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Bedham?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Fittleworth Conservation Area, close to central Bedham. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Chichester council, which is normally the planning authority for Bedham.
Is Bedham within the area you cover?
Yes. Bedham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6, then 5%. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
It depends on your home and the system. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions, and we check before you commit.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Bedham.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a price
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
