How we handle air source heat pumps in Bitchet Green
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. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are checking whether planning permission is needed and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
If your home in or near Bitchet Green is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Book a yearly service
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.

Lord's Spring Cottage Lord's Spring Cottages, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 4 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Bitchet Green’s centre.

Common problems we fix in Bitchet Green
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Historic houses such as Ightham Mote, about 1 mile south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Bitchet Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bitchet Green?
Yes. Bitchet Green 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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bitchet Green?
Bitchet Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a place like Bitchet Green, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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 use the quote form.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
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.”
