About our air source heat pumps in Bishop's Green
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. We’re often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Homes around Bishop's Green normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Heat pumps in Bishop's Green: local notes
At about 52 miles from central London, Bishop's Green sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. About 57% of homes in the Bishop's Green area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 53% of households live in flats. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air.
Shaw House, roughly 3.6 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Book a yearly service
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Use the settings explained at handover
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
Bishop's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Bishop's Green for air source heat pumps?
We do: Bishop's Green falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Is the heat pump grant available in Bishop's Green?
Bishop's Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
