About our air source heat pumps in Brookmans Park
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. 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. This is general information, not tax advice. If you’re dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Brookmans Park, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Air source heat pumps in Brookmans Park: the local picture
VOA council tax data date about 44% of homes in and around Brookmans Park to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor, about 1.8 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Period properties close to United Reformed Church Brookmans Park can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Brookmans Park
Is Brookmans Park within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Brookmans Park without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Brookmans Park. 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 do not 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 Welwyn Hatfield council, usually the authority for Brookmans Park.
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. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home; as an add-on to a boiler it does not qualify.
System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. Hot water needs a separate source so you’ll need another way to heat it.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it, and the size of each room.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Brookmans Park is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
Advice
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
