Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Boreham Street
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include questions about where the outdoor unit can go and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, across hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Boreham Street usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
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.
FAQs for Boreham Street
Will you come out to Boreham Street?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will a heat pump in Boreham Street need planning permission?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Boreham Street Conservation Area, close to central Boreham Street. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Wealden council, normally the authority for Boreham Street.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we are happy to show ours.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Businesses pay the standard rate. This is general information, not tax advice.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
