About our air source heat pumps in Borough Green
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, 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 air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Cottages and older homes near Borough Green can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
We are 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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Borough Green
Will you come out to Borough Green?
Yes. Borough Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Borough Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Borough Green is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
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.

What else we do in Borough Green
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Borough Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- What kind of system it is
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Let and managed properties
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
What a heat pump looks like in Borough Green
Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 12 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Borough Green, including Forge Cottage (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Tonbridge and Malling council, which normally handles Borough Green where necessary.
Period properties close to The Church of the Good Shepherd can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is near Borough Green & Wrotham station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the visit to Borough Green from the survey or your pictures.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading
