Air source heat pumps in Bossingham, done properly
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. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and planning and permitted development questions, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Bossingham is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What air source heat pumps cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps will not do:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What a heat pump looks like in Bossingham
About 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Acrise Place lies about 4.9 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Questions from Bossingham
Is the heat pump grant available in Bossingham?
Bossingham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Can I fit a heat pump in Bossingham without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Bossingham sits inside the Bossingham Conservation Area. 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 don’t 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 the planning department at Canterbury City council, usually the authority for Bossingham.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Is Bossingham in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Bossingham, within the South East and London area we cover. We’re based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
