Air source heat pumps in Bradfield Heath, done properly
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
Homes around Bradfield Heath normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Bradfield Heath
Can I fit a heat pump in Bradfield Heath without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Bradfield Heath. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with Tendring council, which is typically the planning authority for Bradfield Heath.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bradfield Heath?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bradfield Heath is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.

This is general information, not tax advice.
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems and that matters for comfort and running.
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
Should you have questions after the install, ring 07833 053749 and we will look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Bradfield Heath can be planned properly.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
